| Description: | Scalar to set the maximum amount of gas that can be injected into the storage |
Gas Storage Injection Rate Scalar scales the Injection Ratchet to set an upper bound on the maximum amount of gas that can be injected into the storage within a particular time period and band. This value corresponds with the Injection Volume (or Injection Volume Factor if using percentage based ratchets) for the given band.
When Use Additive Ratchet is Yes, the input is incremental, starting from the last band to the first. For example:
| Property | Value | Units | Band |
| Injection Volume | 400 | TJ | 1 |
| Injection Rate Scalar | 50 | % | 1 |
| Injection Volume | 300 | TJ | 2 |
| Injection Rate Scalar | 30 | % | 2 |
| Injection Volume | 300 | TJ | 3 |
| Injection Rate Scalar | 20 | % | 3 |
| Injection Ratchet | 100 | TJ | 1 |
In this case, band 1, which has a volume of 400 TJ, can be injected into at a rate of (0.5 + 0.3 + 0.2) * 100 TJ per time period. Band 2, which has a volume of 300 TJ, can be injected into at a rate of (0.3 + 0.2) * 100 TJ per time period, after band 1 has been filled. Lastly, band 3, which has a volume of 300 TJ, can be injected into at a rate of 0.2 * 100 TJ per time period, after bands 1 and 2 have been filled.
