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.
