AutoSchedule action

These parameters are valid for /action:autoschedule (look in the manual for more information)

Name

Description

Valid values

Default value

/selection

A comma separated list with the names for the templates for which the schedule and maximum capacity for the contained series should be automatically estimated assuming a monotonic increase in the capacity.

Name of series template

<none>

/maxlimits

A list of up to 6 limits for the maximum allowed increase in maximum capacity separated by ‘@’

The position in the list corresponds to limits for:

1: The absolute (in MW) increase between two consecutive values for a single series.

2: The relative increase (e.g. 0.1 for a 10% increase) between two consecutive values for a single series.

3: The absolute (in MW) increase within the scheduled period for a single series.

4: The relative increase (e.g. 0.1 for a 10% increase) within the scheduled period for a single series.

 If any of these limits are exceeded, the series will be ignored and an error will be reported to the status log.

 

5: The absolute (in MW) sum of increases within the scheduled period for all selected series.

6: The relative sum of increases (e.g. 0.1 for a 10% increase) within the scheduled period for all selected series.

 

If any of these two limits are exceeded, a warning will be reported to the status log.

List of numeric values

<none>

/rescale

Rescale any saved regression results in accordance to the new estimated max value. The program will warn if any saved regression files are missing.

Boolean (true,false)

false

/startperiod

If the autoschedule starts with a maximum of 0, the first specified number of days get the same new maximum value which will be the maximum for the specified number of days, in order to avoid a new scheduled item each new hour due to increased wind speed.

Integer

0

/ignorevalues

The number of consecutive values that are allowed to fall outside the tolerance bounds set without stopping the autoschedule for that series. The values outside the tolerated bound will be ignored.

Integer

0

/periodlen

Divides the history into sub-periods of '/periodlen' number of days and the maximum values for each sub-period are saved as scheduled items. Suitable when the maximum values are not monotonically increasing. If this feature is switched on, the /maxlimits concerning changes between two consecutive values will then refer to changes between two consecutive sub-periods instead. The /ignorevalues can be set to 0 or 1, if set to 1 the program will ignore the highest value within each sub-period, thus removing the highest spike within the sub-period.  Switch this off by setting the value to the default zero. If the available data after the last reported scheduled item is shorter than the period length, the program will instead only look for increases as if /periodlen were set to 0.

Integer

0

/endnow

Ends the scheduled periods now when estimating max values for sub-periods, otherwise end the periods when load data ends. Suitable when missing data for the recent period suggests that the production has stopped.

Boolean (true,false)

false
