Gas Transport Expansion Optimality

Units:	-
Mode:	Input Only
Multi-band:	False
Default Value:	0
Validation Rule:	In (0,2)
Key Property:	No
Description:	Expansion planning integerization scheme.

Gas Transport Expansion Optimality controls the integerization of build/retire decisions in LT Plan. If discrete build points are specified using the multi-band option for Expansion Max Volume, Expansion Optimality should be set to Linear. It can take the following values:

Linear (value = 0): Build/retire decisions are allowed to be linear (faster but can result in partial build/retire outcomes).
Integer (value = 2): Build/retire decisions are strictly integer (only 0 or 1 units will be built).

NOTE: The option Optimality controls the linear/integer decision at the global level. You can also choose to integerize only part of the horizon using the switch Integerization Horizon.
