Hi Scott, I’m afraid I don’t understand what you are trying to do.
There aren’t any “hidden values”. It’s just that those columns are outputs of the simulation, so they aren’t present on input, but are added when you run a power flow or OPF. And if you are making comparisons on those values (flows and shadow prices), you’ll definitely want to be comparing solved cases, in which case they should be present. If you are simply looking at the values in the included case files, these are not always solved cases, so you’ll need to run a power flow or OPF first. Hope this helps, Ray On Aug 23, 2022, at 10:31 AM, Scott seedell <scottseed...@hotmail.com<mailto:scottseed...@hotmail.com>> wrote: Thanks Ray, Is there an easy way I can access the hidden values? What I'd like to be able to do is compare the affects on the branches for different sizes/locations of generator.

Those extra columns are included in the output but are typically not included (or else they are ignored) on input.

Anything I should be doing, or perhaps a different way to access this information? Thanks
