Generator Hydro Efficiency Optimality

Units:	-
Mode:	Input Only
Multi-band:	False
Default Value:	-1
Validation Rule:	In (-1,0,2)
Key Property:	No
Description:	Controls when integers are used to enforce multi-band hydro efficiency functions to dispatch in order

Generator Hydro Efficiency Optimality controls when integers are used to enforce multi-band hydro efficiency functions to dispatch in order. The option only applies to Generator objects with a Head Storage that define Efficiency Incr and Load Point in multiple bands. The setting can take one of the following values:

Auto (value = -1, default)

If the simulation phase is 'chronological' e.g. ST Schedule or LT Plan/MT Schedule with sampled or fitted chronology then integers constraints are enforced, otherwise they are relaxed.

Linear (value = 0)

The integer constraints are relaxed regardless of the simulation chronology settings.

Integer (value = 2)

The integer constraints are enforced regardless of the simulation chronology settings.

Note that this setting is independent to Unit Commitment Optimality.
