Generator Constraints Build Cost Coefficient

Units:	$
Mode:	Input Only
Multi-band:	False
Default Value:	0
Validation Rule:	Any Value
Key Property:	No
Description:	Coefficient of total build cost
Detail:

Generator Constraints Build Cost is the left-hand side coefficient of Generator Build Cost from the start of the horizon up to the current period in the constraint. The cost is the nominal lump-sum Build Cost i.e without any adjustment for Discount Rate.

With the coefficient represented by a_(i,j) the following term is added to the formulation:

... + a_(i,j) × ∑ ( t = 1, k ) Generator Build Cost × Generator Units Built _t ... {≤, ≥, =} b_j

where:
k is the current period e.g. year of the simulation.
