Input

Zone Min Capacity Reserve Margin sets a lower bound on the Capacity Reserve Margin in the Zone in LT Plan. The expansion solution will attempt to meet the required Capacity Reserve Margin by new builds and/or restricting plant retirements. By default the constraint is 'hard' meaning that it cannot be violated, but the limit can be made 'soft' by setting the Capacity Shortage Price.

Min Capacity Reserve Margin = MIN ( t ) ( Capacity Reserve Margin_t )
