Behavior documentation¶
In Artelys Crystal Super Grid, most of the technologies have several modelling variations, also called “behaviors”. In order to activate one or the other variation of the model, the user may select the wanted behaviors for each asset via the Parameter tables.
The possible behaviors depend on the current technology and context type (for example, OPTIM_PMAX is only available for technologies that have a PMAX attribute, and in capacity optimization contexts).
The complete list of possible behaviors is available here:
