Facility Formulate Non-convex

Units: -
Mode: Input Only
Multi-band: False
Default Value: 2
Validation Rule: In (0,1,2)
Key Property: No
Description: Controls when integers are used to enforce clearing of marginal efficiency tranches in order
Detail:

Facility Formulate Non-convex controls when integer variables and constraints are formulated so that the marginal efficiency tranches (Efficiency Point and Efficiency Incr) are despatched in order.

Auto (value = 1)
The simulator attempts to detect if the efficiency function should be monotonically non-decreasing or non-increasing depending on the type of process being implemented and if convexity is violated the convexity variables/constraints are added to the formulation.
Always (value = 2)
Convexity variables/constraints are added to the formulation regardless of whether or not the input appears convex.
Never (value = 0)
Convexity variables/constraints are not included in the formulation.

Settings other than 'Auto' supersede the Heat Rate Error Method setting in the Production object.
