Diagnostic Heat Rate

Units:	Yes/No
Default Value:	False (0)
Validation Rule:	False (0) or True (-1)
Description:	Write diagnostics for Generator Heat Rate curve fitting and non-convex corrections.

Diagnostic Heat Rate produces details of the curve fitting and non-convex corrections made to Generator Heat Rate data.

Three tables are written to the diagnostic:

1. A table of polynomial terms ( y = a + b × x + c × x² + d × x³ ) where y is 'fuel' and x is Generation.
2. A table of step-wise functions fitted to the polynomial function, where the steps consist of a megawatt point and an incremental heat rate value.
3. A table of step-wise functions with corrections made for non-convexities. These table entries only appear for those curves that require correction.
