Minimum Generation Column

This optional column is used to specify the minimum level of the generation required from each resource.  Accepted input are a value between 0 and 1, with the default value being 0.  When a non-zero value is entered, a MW minimum generation level is calculated as [Capacity]*[Generating Availability]*[Minimum Generation].  The optimization only allows the unit to generate (discharge) at or above this level when in operation, though it can have a 0 MW generation level.  The available charging levels are not directly affected by this parameter.  

NOTE: Including this parameter on many storage units can increase the problem size significantly.  

 NOTE: Specify inputs for any time period (annually, monthly, weekly, hourly, or sub-hourly). For information on specifying a variable's time series, see Entering a Time Series.
