Price Cap Column (Optional)
Column Type = Single or Text
This column is used to set a price cap (entered in nominal currency) for each zone in the Zone Definition system. The price cap will be artificial and will not affect resource dispatch. It may affect connected hub prices. This value will also be used as a relaxation cost when zonal LP demand constraints are infeasible
NOTE: The Use price caps check box must be set to apply price caps to the study. This option is located in the Dispatch and Demand folder of Simulation Options.
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.
The Price Cap column must be type text before a time series reference can be entered.
