Generator Constraints Fuel Offtake Coefficient

Units: GJ (Metric), MMBtu (U.S. Imperial)
Mode: Input Only
Multi-band: False
Default Value: 0
Validation Rule: Any Value
Key Property: No
Description: Coefficient of fuel offtake
Detail:

Generator Generator Fuel Offtake Coefficient is the left-hand side term on the total fuel used (Fuel Offtake) in the constraint.

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

... + a(i,j) × ∑ ( i ) Generator Fuels Offtake ( i ) ... {≤, ≥, =} bj

where:

i indexes the Fuels used by the Generator

By default, this sum is taken over all Generator Fuels. However you can limit the set of Fuels included in the sum by adding Generator Fuels memberships with no associated property definitions. This is a special case of using 'null' memberships to filter the terms included in another constraint property.
