Heat Plant 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.

Heat Plant Expansion Optimality controls the integerization of heat plant build decisions in LT Plan. This flag is only applicable when the LT Plan Optimality is Integer. When LT Plan Optimality is Linear then all builds are linear. It can take the following values:

Linear (value = 0)

Build decisions are allowed to be linear (faster but can result in partial build/retire outcomes).

Integer (value = 2)

Build decisions are strictly integer (only whole lines can 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.
