Hydro Shape Sets Column
Column Type = Text
Use this optional column to group hydro sets together and use the combined hydro capability of the group in the shaping logic. This column is particularly useful when other settings among hydro sets are unique, but you want to shape the hydro set using the overall total hydro capability in a region.
To group multiple hydro sets together, use a single Name to identify the group. For example, mark all northwest hydro sets with NW and they will each use the capability of the group as a whole. The name should not be the same as any of the hydro set IDs.
Additionally, a single set can be independently grouped to others with a comma delimited list of hydro sets. For example, to use the aggregate capability of the hydro sets in Idaho and Oregon_East in the shaping for the Oregon_East hydro resource, enter Oregon_East, WECC_PNW_IdahoEast,WECC_PNW_IdahoSouth in the value for the Oregon_East hydro set. This would only affect the shaping of the hydro resource in the Oregon_East set, not the Idaho sets.
If the value is left blank, the default is the set's native hydro capability.
NOTE: Use of the setting Use demand in all areas for hydro shaping overrides this field.
NOTE: When using the Peak Shave Only method, this setting works differently.
