Modeling Supplemental Heating Devices - swilcox9 - 13-05-2023
Hello, I would like to model a dual heating systems such that there is a primary heating system (e.g, electric heat pump) and a supplemental system (e.g, natural gas boiler). The supplemental system would only be available at during the peak time-slice. Going through the documentation, it seems that time dependent availability (AF(Z)(Y)) and PEAK(CON) can only be used for conversion plants. We are transitioning the model to VEDA soon, so if a solution existing in VEDA that would also be useful. Thank you!
