AverageRateCurve
Package: PowerCoreOpenAPIModels · Source: Core/common.json
A curve whose y values are the average rate f(x)/x at production level x — total cost or fuel divided by output, the form heat rate tables use when they report MMBtu/MWh against MW. initial_input records the total input at the minimum production point and is what makes conversion to an InputOutputCurve possible. Use IncrementalCurve when the data gives marginal rather than average rates.
