Gas Storage Injection Rate Scalar

Units:	%
Mode:	Input Only
Multi-band:	True
Default Value:	0
Validation Rule:	Any Value
Key Property:	No
Description:	Scalar to set the maximum amount of gas that can be injected into the storage
Detail:

Gas Storage Injection Rate Scalar scales the Injection Ratchet to set an upper bound on the maximum amount of gas that can be injected into the storage within a particular time period and band. This value corresponds with the Injection Volume (or Injection Volume Factor if using percentage based ratchets) for the given band.

When Use Additive Ratchet is Yes, the input is incremental, starting from the last band to the first. For example:

Property	Value	Units	Band
Injection Volume	400	TJ	1
Injection Rate Scalar	50	%	1
Injection Volume	300	TJ	2
Injection Rate Scalar	30	%	2
Injection Volume	300	TJ	3
Injection Rate Scalar	20	%	3
Injection Ratchet	100	TJ	1

In this case, band 1, which has a volume of 400 TJ, can be injected into at a rate of (0.5 + 0.3 + 0.2) * 100 TJ per time period. Band 2, which has a volume of 300 TJ, can be injected into at a rate of (0.3 + 0.2) * 100 TJ per time period, after band 1 has been filled. Lastly, band 3, which has a volume of 300 TJ, can be injected into at a rate of 0.2 * 100 TJ per time period, after bands 1 and 2 have been filled.
