Generator Build Set Size

Units:	-
Mode:	Input Only
Multi-band:	False
Default Value:	0
Validation Rule:	≥0
Key Property:	No
Description:	Expansion must occur in sets of this many units where zero indicates any set size
Detail:

Setting Generator Build Set Size to a non-zero value indicates that expansion must occur in sets of this many units.

Table 1: Build Set Size Example

Property	Value	Units	Band	Memo
Max Capacity	1	MW	1
Build Cost	20	$/kW	1	t = -2 cost
Build Cost	50	$/kW	2	t = -1 cost
Build Cost	15	$/kW	3	t = 0 cost
Project Start Date	1/01/2006	-	1
Max Units Built	160	-	1
Build Set Size	50	-	1

In this example the Generator is defined as 1 MW "units" that must be built in sets of 50 at a time. Thus 0, 50, 100, 150 only is feasible for Units Built.

Note that this set size constraint is ignored if Expansion Optimality is "Linear Relaxation" or in years outside the LT Plan Integerization Horizon.
