| Description: | Maximum number of units automatically constructed in aggregate over the planning horizon |
Line Max Units Built is either zero or one indicating if LT Plan is allowed to build a new Line any time across the planning horizon.
Example
| Line | Property | Value | Units |
|---|---|---|---|
| X-Y | Units | 0 | - |
| X-Y | Max Flow | 150 | MW |
| X-Y | Max Units Built | 1 | - |
| X-Y | Build Cost | 2000 | $000 |
| X-Y | Economic Life | 35 | years |
| X-Y | WACC | 8 | % |
You can control when the new build is allowed to occur either by using the Project Start Date property or by using Max Units Built with a Date From tag as in this example:
| Line | Property | Value | Units | Date From |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| X-Y | Units | 0 | - | |
| X-Y | Max Flow | 150 | MW | |
| X-Y | Max Units Built | 1 | - | 1/01/2015 |
| X-Y | Build Cost | 2000 | $000 | |
| X-Y | Economic Life | 35 | years | |
| X-Y | WACC | 8 | % |
In this example the Line cannot be built until the year 2015. You can controls whether the Line is built in particular years with Max Units Built in Year and/or Min Units Built in Year.
