I am not sure I understand the modelling issue, but concerning the User Constraint:
Total Gen April (PROR-HYDRO) – 40%* 0.100 GW* 730* 0.0036 <= 0
Isn't this equivalent to defining NCAP_AFS(PROR-HYDRO,April,UP) = 0.4 (utilization factor in April is at most 40%)?
However, I can see that one might also want to model the storage size and inflow distribution as well, such that the power output would be limited by both. In the latest version (v3.9.5, to be released in the next days) that can be accomplished by defining the process as a timeslice storage, and by using NCAP_AFC/NCAP_AFCS for defining the availabilities for both the input flow (i.e. the inflow distribution) and the output flow (output availability/utilization factor), and for the activity (storage pondage capacity). If you want pursue that approach, I can provide more details.
