v0.3.0

[0.3.0] - 2022-07-18

Added

• Add support for multiple reserve products and zonal reserves.
• Add flexiramp reserve products, following WanHob2016's formulation (@oyurdakul, #21).
• Add 365 variations for each MATPOWER instance, corresponding to each day of the year.

Changed

• To support multiple/zonal reserves, the input data format has been modified as follows:
  • In Generators, replace Provides spinning reserves? by Reserve eligibility
  • In Parameters, remove Reserve shortfall penalty
  • Revise Reserves section
• To allow new versions of UnitCommitment.jl to read old instance files, a new required field Version has been added to the Parameters section. To load v0.2 files in v0.3, please add {"Parameters":{"Version":"0.2"}} to the file.
• Benchmark test cases are now downloaded on-the-fly as needed, instead of being stored in our GitHub repository. Test cases can also be directly downloaded from: https://axavier.org/UnitCommitment.jl/
