Include In System
Column Type = Boolean

This optional column is used to improve asset valuation during an LT study by including a shadow resource in each iteration. When set to True (1), Aurora keeps at least one resource from each available start year “in-system” at a very small capacity during each LT iteration in order to get a better valuation of the resource performance. This is particularly useful for Storage Resources because their value can be difficult to estimate when not in the system.

 NOTE: Annual Time Series are allowed for this column based on the vintage of the new resource option, i.e. a single value (True/False) is selected from the time series based on the resource begin year and then held constant throughout the study.  For information on how to specify a time series for a variable, see Entering a Time Series.

NOTE: Setting this to True for many resources will slow down the simulation runtime.
