This optional column is used to define the price for the relaxation of spinning reserve constraints in the optimization. There are three modes:
Blank/NULL: (default) Aurora determines the relaxation price dynamically based on the resource costs.
Nonnegative numeric input: User-specified cost for violating the constraint.
Negative numeric input: Aurora allows the relaxation of the constraints, unless the problem is infeasible in which case the relaxation is allowed at a very high cost.
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.
