Base Case Building Power flow From each Data Submitter we should receive the following: Area Specific power flow data L&R spreadsheet Any dynamic model changes/updates Any tie line changes (must be coordinated!!!) List of significant changes Any additional info that will help with base case compilation Western Electricity Coordinating Council
