minimum interregional transmission constraint

[joshdr83]

Would it be worth having a constraint to force GenX to build a minimum amount of transmission from one region to its neighbors? Like if region A was connected to regions X, Y, and Z, what about a constraint where the sum of transmission A<->X, A<->Y, and A<->Z would have to equal say 15,000 MW?

I am thinking about this in terms of how important transmission is and is becoming and how something like this would be needed to model legislation like the BIG WIRES ACT.

Thanks @joshdr83 . @JesseJenkins @dharik13 @xuqingyu @RuaridhMacd and @nspatank , ... I just assigned you to see if you have any thoughts on this. I can write up a code snippet to implement this in a PR.

@joshdr83 there are some folks at MIT CEEPR who have an implementation of this worked on. I will ask them to push so that it is availalbe for broader use.

@dharik13 awesome! Please lmk when that is up!

Hi @joshdr83,

As @dharik13 mentioned, our team at CEEPR is working on an implementation of minimum transmission between regions. We're still ironing out some details on the appropriate heuristic for it and we can share the details and code roughly by the first week of February, latest second week. Hope that works!

Awesome! Thank you so much.

@juansenga1 have you submitted a PR on this? If not, can you please submit a pull request to the develop branch implementing this minimum interregional transmission constraint as a new policy feature? Thank you.
