Data File Method

Units:	-
Default Value:	1
Validation Rule:	In (0,1,2,3)
Description:	Method used to align maximum (and minimum if defined) and energy values
Detail:

Data File Method can take one of the following values:

None (value = 0)

The data are simply translated from the base year to the target years, with weekends and holidays preserved.

Linear (value = 1)

The growth rate applied to points in the load duration curve changes linearly along then curve.

Quadratic (value = 2)

The growth rate applied to points in the load duration curve is determined by solution to a quadratic programming problem.

Custom (value = 3)

The data are translated from the base year to the target years, with weekends and holidays preserved. However the growth algorithm itself is called from all OpenPLEXOS assemblies defined if the class and method exists.

The class is called "MyDatafile", while the method or function name is called GrowProfile().

Please refer to the customizing guide for more information on configuring OpenPLEXOS.
