EMarket 3 Release Notes

EMarket 3.11.2

- The hydro buffer and reduction ratio figures are now semicolon delimited rather than comma delimited (reverse compatible)

EMarket 3.10.9 -> 3.11.1

- Corrected pricing is available by putting the string +CP anywhere in the run description (WARNING - runs very slowly)

EMarket 3.10.6 -> 3.10.9

- Added monthly reduction ratios for high and low buffers in water valuation

- Equations as entities are now available to the output specs

EMarket 3.10.6 -> 3.10.7

- .7 is the same as .6 except the transmission constraints correction has been turned off again due to concerns about its accuracy.

EMarket 3.10.5 -> 3.10.6

- Lines may now be outaged at any time by setting their capacity to 0 (or both capacity and reverse capacity in the case of an DC line). The connectivity of the grid will be maintained in the case of outages forming an 'island' by keeping one connecting circuit closed and setting it's limits to 1 MW.

EMarket 3.10.2

- generalised water valuation parameters for all hydro systems

- Bugs in generic water valuation ironed out. Special Tekapo to Waitaki water transfer code added

- Water value calculations 'genericised' ready for Tekapo split.

EMarket 3.10.1

- Multiple map forms can now be opened

- bug fix when the dc line limits are set and saved.

EMarket 3.9.2 -> 3.10.5

- Multiple map forms can now be opened

- An improved, adjustment to the transmission constraints in dispatch and pricing algorithm. Although not as accurate as possible, this method achieves +- 2% accuracy with a small performance hit.

- Save water value files

- bug fix when the dc line limits are set and saved.

- generalised water valuation parameters for all hydro systems

- Bugs in generic water valuation ironed out. Special Tekapo to Waitaki water transfer code added

- Water value calculations 'genericised' ready for Tekapo split.

EMarket 3.7.8 -> 3.9.1

- Added Fixed losses inputs to Lines, DCLines and Nodes

- Multiple deletion of resources now available using menu Resources>Delete Resources.

- More accurate dispatch and pricing around contraints has been added by accounting for second order effects.

- Shoulder capacities have been added to lines and sholder limits to equations. To implement these a variable 'TransmissionSeason' must be defined which has a value of 0 in winter periods, 1 in shoulder periods and 2 in summer periods. If this variable is defined it overrides the existing 'TransmissionSummer' variable.

8/07/2009 - 3.7.6

- More fixes to import risk contraints, the import offset was not applying to slow reserve.

- Fixed bug where companyopt only worked if the first company was turned on.

29/01/2009 - 3.7.6

- More fixes to import risk contraint, the pricing was being double counted causing negative energy prices.

- Removed Hawea flow constraint from optimisation routines.

EMarket 3.6.5 - 3.7.8

10/08/09 - 3.7.8

- Output spec nodes now open for edit when you create them

- Bug fixed: dispatched reserve was being added to the Node.Injection output.

8/07/2009 - 3.7.7

- Fix to the import risk constraints: previously the import offset was not applying to slow reserve, now it is.

- Fixed a bug where company optimisation only ran if the first company in the companies list had company optimisation turned on.

29/01/2009 - 3.7.6

- Fix to the import risk constraint, the pricing was being double counted causing negative energy prices on the exporting side of the link.

- New hydro constraint - Hawea now does not release more than 200 cumecs unless it is nearly full.

26/03/2008 - 3.7.4

- Corrected the resetting of hydro stations at the start of consecutive runs. This process was faulty in the case of Manapouri, causing it to start half full in some runs.

- Corrected an error in the water value calculation that occurred when reserve offers are present.

- Corrected some bugs in the reserves dispatch.

- Fixed a bug in reserve import price calculation.

9/11/2007 - 3.7.1

- An ‘Other resource reports’ allows access to hidden resources (HydroSys, Hydro) in the resource report form.

31/10/2007 - 3.6.8

- Outputs are now written to a new format of binary data files, this format produces fewer, larger files which are quicker to access and maintain.

- Added Half-hour of Year file input.

19/06/2007 - 3.6.5

- Added ‘Week of Year’ and ‘Day of Year’ options to the File Input files Week of Year and Day of Year start on the Monday on or preceding the date given in the top cell of the file (ignoring the year of that date).
