The Link Capacity Shape column allows the user to specify a shape which will be applied to the area to area transmission capacity. This value is multiplied by the link (transmission) capacity.
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.
If a zero (0) is input, the shape will default to one (1), meaning no shape will be applied. (It will be treated the same as if it were blank.) To apply an actual shape of zero (0) or for the variable to be multiplied by zero (0), it can be done through a time series vector.
