| Description: | Penalty applied to non-physical inflow to the storage. A value of -1 means none are allowed. |
Storage Non-physical Inflow Penalty toggles on/off inclusion of variables that represent 'non-physical' Inflow to the Storage. These inflows are analogous to Unserved Energy in the transmission system i.e. they represent shortages of inflows required to obtain a feasible storage balance. The default value of -1 means that non-physical inflows are not allowed.
The amount of non-physical inflows is reported as Storage Non-physical Inflow. When non-physical inflows occur the reported End Volume might be below Min Volume and even negative. Thus this setting should only be used to assist with diagnosing infeasibilities in hydro models.
