Demand Factor Limit Column
Column Type = Text
The Demand Factor Limit column is used to dynamically define the Limit by placing a multiplier on zonal demand such that the final limit for each year will be equal to [Demand Factor Limit] * [Annual Zonal Demand in MWh] + [Limit]. This column is especially useful for dynamically defining RPS targets based on demand instead of a fixed value and output from any DSM new resources that are in the constraint will be counted as demand and not energy. Use the Demand Reference column to determine the list of zones that define the demand used in the calculation.
This column is only used when Constraint Type = LT Energy Min.
NOTE: Inputs can be specified for any time period (annual, monthly, weekly, hourly or sub-hourly). For information on how to specify a time series for a variable, see Entering a Time Series.
