Marginal Cost Floor Column (optional)
Column Type = Text
This optional column is used to specify a floor on the marginal cost for all buses in the aggregate area. It must be entered as a negative number. If the sum of the three LMP components is less than the input floor for a particular bus, the model will scale all three proportionally in order to get a total bus LMP equal to the input floor. The floor is entered in real base year currency.
NOTE: Inputs can be specified for any time period (annual, monthly, weekly, hourly or sub-hourly). For information on how to specify a time series for a variable, see Entering a Time Series.
