due to the inability of the PortOps model to converge, - iii. Calculation of costs/benefits would be highly dependent on assumptions, if load rebalancing post deviation is required for the analysis, - iv. Costs associated with the initial...

AI summary The document discusses challenges in calculating costs and benefits related to load rebalancing and dispatch decisions due to limitations in the PortOps model and lack of logged deviation data. It also highlights the inability to quantify load shifting benefits for real-time ADC and the potential for net costs from real-time load deviations.
