Analyzing Optimization Results

Each operational constraint affects the optimal solution in a different way. The aim of this chapter is to first analyze the impact of each individual constraint on the optimal solution and then investigate their combined effect. To do so, the base model without the consideration of DR, renewable integration, EES, NZE, and reliability is solved and analyzed first. Then, each of these constraints is added to the base model, and the results are compared with the base model. Finally, the integrated case with all the operational constraints is solved.
