| Description: | Indicates periods that include the peak load |
Region Peak Period is a flag that indicates periods that may include the Peak Load. By default all periods are considered when finding the Peak Load but you can restrict the search to certain times of year using this property. Changing the Peak Load affects LT Plan capacity calculations and can change the optimal expansion solution as a result.
Example
In the following example only the summer time will be considered when finding the Peak Load.
| Class | Name | Property | Value | Pattern |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Timeslice | SUMMER | Include | -1 | M4-10 |
| Timeslice | WINTER | Include | -1 | M1-3,11-12 |
| Class | Name | Property | Value | Timeslice |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Region | AREA1 | Peak Period | 0 | WINTER |
| Region | AREA1 | Peak Period | -1 | SUMMER |
