FunctionData
Options
PowerSimulations can represent variable costs using a variety of different methods depending on the data available in each device. The following describes the objective function terms that are populated for each variable cost option.
LinearFunctionData
variable_cost = LinearFunctionData(c)
: creates a fixed marginal cost term in the objective function
\[\begin{aligned} & \text{min} \sum_{t} c * G_t \end{aligned}\]
QuadraticFunctionData
and PolynomialFunctionData
variable_cost::QuadraticFunctionData
and variable_cost::PolynomialFunctionData
: create a polynomial cost term in the objective function
\[\begin{aligned} & \text{min} \sum_{t} \sum_{n} C_n * G_t^n \end{aligned}\]

pointsget_points(variable_cost)
in order.For

, $f(x)$ is the piecewise linear function obtained by starting at(x0, y0)
, drawing a segment at slopes0

, drawing a segment at slopes1

, etc.
StorageCost
Adds an objective function cost term according to:
\[\begin{aligned} & \text{min} \sum_{t} \quad [E^{surplus}_t * C^{penalty} - E^{shortage}_t * C^{value}] \end{aligned}\]
Impact of different cost configurations:
The following table describes all possible configurations of the StorageCost
with the target constraint in hydro or storage device models. Cases 1(a) & 2(a) will not impact the model's operations, and the target constraint will be rendered useless. In most cases that have no energy target and a non-zero value for $C^{value}$, if this cost is too high ($C^{value} >> 0$) or too low ($C^{value} <<0$) can result in either the model holding on to stored energy till the end of the model not storing any energy in the device. This is caused by the fact that when the energy target is zero, we have $E_t = - E^{shortage}_t$, and $- E^{shortage}_t * C^{value}$ in the objective function is replaced by $E_t * C^{value}$, thus resulting in $C^{value}$ to be seen as the cost of stored energy.
Case | Energy Target | Energy Shortage Cost | Energy Value / Energy Surplus cost | Effect |
---|---|---|---|---|
Case 1(a) | $\hat{E}=0$ | $C^{penalty}=0$ | $C^{value}=0$ | no change |
Case 1(b) | $\hat{E}=0$ | $C^{penalty}=0$ | $C^{value}<0$ | penalty for storing energy |
Case 1(c) | $\hat{E}=0$ | $C^{penalty}>0$ | $C^{value}=0$ | no penalties or incentives applied |
Case 1(d) | $\hat{E}=0$ | $C^{penalty}=0$ | $C^{value}>0$ | incentive for storing energy |
Case 1(e) | $\hat{E}=0$ | $C^{penalty}>0$ | $C^{value}<0$ | penalty for storing energy |
Case 1(f) | $\hat{E}=0$ | $C^{penalty}>0$ | $C^{value}>0$ | incentive for storing energy |
Case 2(a) | $\hat{E}>0$ | $C^{penalty}=0$ | $C^{value}=0$ | no change |
Case 2(b) | $\hat{E}>0$ | $C^{penalty}=0$ | $C^{value}<0$ | penalty on energy storage in excess of target |
Case 2(c) | $\hat{E}>0$ | $C^{penalty}>0$ | $C^{value}=0$ | penalty on energy storage short of target |
Case 2(d) | $\hat{E}>0$ | $C^{penalty}=0$ | $C^{value}>0$ | incentive on excess energy |
Case 2(e) | $\hat{E}>0$ | $C^{penalty}>0$ | $C^{value}<0$ | penalty on both excess/shortage of energy |
Case 2(f) | $\hat{E}>0$ | $C^{penalty}>0$ | $C^{value}>0$ | penalty for shortage, incentive for excess energy |
