Description​

All energy usage models may have a keyword CONDITION which specifies conditions for the consumer to be used. At points in the time series where the condition evaluates to 0 (or False), the energy consumption will be 0. This is practical for some otherwise constant consumers. For example, if you use the category FIXED-PRODUCTION-LOAD and you want it to depend on whether or not there is production, the CONDITION keyword can be specified.

CONDITION supports the functionality described in Expressions, but is required to evaluate to True/False or 1/0.

Format​

CONDITION: <CONDITION>

Example​

A simple example is shown below where the load is only present whenever the oil production is positive:

- NAME: production_load
  CATEGORY: FIXED-PRODUCTION-LOAD
  ENERGY_USAGE_MODEL:
    LOAD: 5
    CONDITION: SIM1;OIL_PROD:PLA > 0

This condition is an expression. See Expressions.
