| Description: | Penalty for violatiog the Min Volume constraint |
Storage Min Volume Penalty is the penalty for violating the Min Volume constraint. The default value of -1 means the constraint is 'hard' and cannot be violated. A value of zero relaxes the constraint and any positive values allows violation at a cost. Note that the constraint is only allowed to be relaxed to zero i.e. negative storage values are not allowed. The violation penalty is expressed in energy terms ($/MWh), therefore if your Storage Model is not "Energy" you should define Downstream Efficiency so the penalty can be interpreted in terms of volume of water in the optimization.
Violations and cost are reported in the properties Min Volume Violation and Min Volume Violation Cost.
