Generator Expansion Optimality

Units: -
Mode: Input Only
Multi-band: False
Default Value: 2
Validation Rule: In (0,2)
Key Property: No
Description: Expansion planning integerization scheme.
Detail:

Generator Expansion Optimality controls the integerization of generator build decisions in LT Plan. It can take the following values:

Linear (value = 0)
Build decisions are allowed to be linear (faster but can result in partial build/retire outcomes).
Integer (value = 2)
Build decisions are strictly integer (only whole units can be built).

NOTE: The option Optimality controls the linear/integer decision at the global level. You can also choose to integerize only part of the horizon using the switch Integerization Horizon.
