Function Content Column
Column Type = Text
Applies only when Record Type = Price Function.
This column represents the fractional content for the reservoir corresponding to the final pricing input for the same row. This value can be thought of as a line or curve drawn through the reservoir energy content. A value of 1.0 corresponds to maximum content, while zero corresponds to minimum content.
The formula for content defined by this entry is Min Content + Function Content * (Max Content - Min Content). For example, if the maximum content in a period is 1,000,0000 and minimum content is 50,000, a value of 0.4 would equal a content level of 430,000 MWh.
All energy between this content level and the point immediately above will use the dispatch price defined for this level.
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.
