Annual Capacity Factor Limit

E4ST.AnnualCapacityFactorLimit — Type

struct AnnualCapacityFactorLimit <: Modification

AnnualCapacityFactorLimit(;name, file)

Sets annual capacity factor limits for generators. Annual capacity factor is defined as the total energy generated in a year divided by the total amount of energy capacity (power capacity times the number of hours in a year).

modify_raw_data! - Loads in a table from file, stores it into data[<name>]. See summarizetable(::Val{:annualcf_lim})
modify_model! - sets up the following constraints and expressions
- Sets up expression model[:egen_gen_annual] (ngen x nhr) for annual energy generation for each generator
- Creates constraint model[:cons_<name>_min] for each generator covered by each row of the table specified in file, if the annual_cf_min column is given.
- Creates constraint model[:cons_<name>_max] for each generator covered by each row of the table specified in file, if the annual_cf_max column is given.

E4ST.summarize_table — Method

summarize_table(::Val{:annual_cf_lim})

column_name	data_type	unit	required	description
`genfuel`	AbstractString	E4ST.NA	false	The fuel type that the generator uses. Leave blank to not filter by genfuel.
`gentype`	String	E4ST.NA	false	The generation technology type that the generator uses. Leave blank to not filter by gentype.
`area`	AbstractString	E4ST.NA	false	The area with which to filter by. I.e. "state". Leave blank to not filter by area.
`subarea`	AbstractString	E4ST.NA	false	The subarea to include in the filter. I.e. "maryland". Leave blank to not filter by area.
`filter_`	String	E4ST.NA	false	There can be multiple filter conditions - `filter1`, `filter2`, etc. It denotes a comparison used for selecting the table rows to apply the adjustment to. See `parse_comparison` for examples
`status`	Bool	E4ST.NA	false	Whether or not to use this limit
`annual_cf_min`	Float64	E4ST.MWhGeneratedPerMWhCapacity	false	The minimum annual capacity factor ∈ (0,1]. If outside these bounds, not set. Be very careful - easy to make model infeasible if contradictory to availability factors.
`annual_cf_max`	Float64	E4ST.MWhGeneratedPerMWhCapacity	false	The maximum annual capacity factor ∈ [0,1). If outside these bounds, not set.
