The Maximum column specifies the instantaneous maximum allowed for units using this hydro set. Allowable input values range from 0 to 1. The factors are applied to nameplate capacity times the availability for each hydro unit in this hydro set. If the hourly maximum limit input here is insufficient to allow the monthly energy generation indicated by the data in the Hydro Monthly table, it will automatically be relaxed to do so.
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.
