DemandRequirement

Package: PowerInvestmentsOpenAPIModels · Source: Investments/Technologies/DemandRequirement.json

Demand requirements for a region. New demand enters at a stated peak in its construction year and scales forward by a growth rate; value_of_lost_load and unserved_demand_curve price whatever portion goes unserved.

Properties

Property	Type	Required	Unit	Description
id	integer	yes	—	ID for individual component.
name	string	yes	—	Name of the component.
available	boolean	—	—	Indicator of whether the component is connected and online (true) or disconnected, offline, or down (false).
power_systems_type	string	yes	—	Corresponding type to be used in PCM modeling.
conformity	string	—	—	Indicator of how the demand requirement should conform to the load profile of existing technologies in the system. Should only be used for new demand requirements.
growth_rate	number	—	1	The annual growth rate of the demand requirement, used to scale present-day loads into future projections. Should only be used for conforming loads. Units: 1.
new_demand_mw	number	—	MW	The value of the peak demand to be used for new DemandRequirements. Units: MW.
new_construction_year	integer	—	—	The year in which the new demand requirement will be installed. Should only be used for new demand requirements.
region	array of integer	—	—	Location where the component applies. Can be a zone or node.
value_of_lost_load	number	—	USD/MWh	Value of unserved load. Units: USD/MWh.
unserved_demand_curve	ValueCurve	—	USD/MWh	Piecewise curve to scale the cost of unserved load based on the value of lost load. Units: USD/MWh.
