Models¶
OATS includes implementation of the following steady-state power system optimisation models:
The following table provides information about the implementation of the steady-state optimisation models in OATS. Note that the selected solver(s) column is not an exhaustive list of solvers. Also, the references column provide links to a selected set of publications where the users can find the mathematical formulation of the models implemented in OATS.
