Create a binding constraint

Create a new binding constraint in an Antares study.

createBindingConstraint(
  name,
  id = tolower(name),
  values = NULL,
  enabled = TRUE,
  timeStep = c("hourly", "daily", "weekly"),
  operator = c("both", "equal", "greater", "less"),
  filter_year_by_year = "hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, annual",
  filter_synthesis = "hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, annual",
  coefficients = NULL,
  group = NULL,
  overwrite = FALSE,
  opts = antaresRead::simOptions()
)

Arguments

name

The name for the binding constraint.

id

An id, default is to use the name.

values

Values used by the constraint. It contains one line per time step and three columns "less", "greater" and "equal" (see documentation below if you're using version study >= v8.7.0)

enabled

Logical, is the constraint enabled ?

timeStep

Time step the constraint applies to : hourly, daily or weekly.

operator

Type of constraint: equality, inequality on one side or both sides.

filter_year_by_year

Marginal price granularity for year by year

filter_synthesis

Marginal price granularity for synthesis

coefficients

A named list containing the coefficients used by the constraint, the coefficients have to be alphabetically ordered see examples below for entering weight or weight with offset.

group

"character" group of the constraint, default value : "default group"

overwrite

If the constraint already exist, overwrite the previous value.

opts

List of simulation parameters returned by the function antaresRead::setSimulationPath()

Value

An updated list containing various information about the simulation.

Details

According to Antares version, usage may vary :

< v8.7.0 : For each constraint name, a .txt file containing 3 time series "less", "greater", "equal"

>= v8.7.0 : For each constraint name, one file .txt containing <id>_lt.txt, <id>_gt.txt, <id>_eq.txt Parameter values must be named list ("lt", "gt", "eq") containing data.frame scenarized. see example section below.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# < v8.7.0 :

# Create constraints with multi coeffs (only weight)

createBindingConstraint(
  name = "myconstraint", 
  values = matrix(data = rep(0, 8760 * 3), ncol = 3), 
  enabled = FALSE, 
  timeStep = "hourly",
  operator = "both",
  coefficients = list("area1%area2" = 1,
    "area1%area3" = 2)
)

# Create constraints with multi coeffs + offset

createBindingConstraint(
  name = "myconstraint", 
  values = matrix(data = rep(0, 8760 * 3), ncol = 3), 
  enabled = FALSE, 
  timeStep = "hourly",
  operator = "both",
  coefficients = list("area1%area2" = "1%1",
    "area1%area3" = "2%3")
)


# >= v8.7.0 :

# values are now named list containing `data.frame` according to   
 # `operator` parameter (for "less", build a list with at least "lt" floor in list)
 
# data values (hourly)
df <- matrix(data = rep(0, 8760 * 3), ncol = 3)
values_data <- list(lt=df)
 
# create bc with minimum value
createBindingConstraint(name = "bc_example", 
                        operator = "less", 
                        values = values_data, 
                        overwrite = TRUE)
                        
# or you can provide list data with all value
values_data <- list(lt=df, 
                   gt= df, 
                   eq= df)   
                   
createBindingConstraint(name = "bc_example", 
                        operator = "less", 
                        values = values_data, 
                        overwrite = TRUE)
