Storage Non-physical Inflow Penalty

Units:	$/MW
Mode:	Input Only
Multi-band:	False
Default Value:	-1
Validation Rule:	Any Value
Key Property:	No
Description:	Penalty applied to non-physical inflow to the storage. A value of -1 means non are allowed.
Detail:

Storage Non-physical Inflow Penalty toggles on/off inclusion of variables that represent 'non-physical' Inflow to the Storage. These inflows are analogous to Unserved Energy in the transmission system i.e. they represent shortages of inflows required to obtain a feasible storage balance. The default value of -1 means that non-physical inflows are not allowed.

The amount of non-physical inflows is reported as Storage Non-physical Inflow. When non-physical inflows occur the reported End Volume might be below Min Volume and even negative. Thus this setting should only be used to assist with diagnosing infeasibilities in hydro models.
