View Constraints

The Constraints interface is a tool allowing participants to view constraint equation IDs in a human readable format. IDs used on the left and right-hand sides of the constraint equation are converted to a plain English description, for example:

"Q_DIRLK_H31MDNR_TRFMR" becomes "MW Megawatt flow on Molendinar 275/110kV transformer".

Participants can make use of this tool to obtain plain English descriptions of constraint equations associated with constraint sets.
