Purchaser Max Energy

Units:	MWh
Mode:	Input Only
Multi-band:	False
Default Value:	1E+30
Validation Rule:	≥0
Key Property:	No
Description:	Maximum energy
Detail:

The Purchaser Max Energy, and the period-specific variants, defines a upper bound on the Purchaser's Load on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or annual basis.

Example:

A purchaser may be defined with periodic limits on the purchaser's energy like this:

Property	Value	Units	Timeslice
Units	1	-
Bid Quantity	100	MW
Bid Price	100	$/MWh
Max Energy Month	24	GWh	M01
Max Energy Month	66	GWh	M02
Max Energy Month	68	GWh	M03
Max Energy Month	63	GWh	M04
Max Energy Month	76	GWh	M05
Max Energy Month	36	GWh	M06
Max Energy Month	77	GWh	M07
Max Energy Month	46	GWh	M08
Max Energy Month	22	GWh	M09
Max Energy Month	4	GWh	M10
Max Energy Month	15	GWh	M11
Max Energy Month	8	GWh	M12

Note the use of Max Energy Month variant and timeslices (patterns) to change the energy limits by each month of the year.

The simulator converts the energy constraints into Constraint objects. By default the constraints are hard i.e. no violation is allowed. If you prefer to allow violations then use the Max Energy Penalty property.

Please note: The interval data type for these properties is not supported.
