If you choose to enter a time series as an Exponential Growth, you must specify a Base value and a Multiplier parameter, representing an annual growth (or decay). This type of time series is commonly used to specify tariffs.
Base
The value of the time series in the Base Period.
Default: 0.0.
Multiplier (1)
An amount which multiplies the previous year’s value in each year. A value of 1.05 represents 5% annual growth, while a value of 0.95 represents a 5% decline. The Multiplier parameter must be positive, and no greater than 2.
For a Floor, the Multiplier indicates how fast the curve converges to the specified Floor. A lower value will create a steep decline towards the Floor in the early years.
Default: 1.0.
Base Period
Specifies a particular period when the Base value should apply. This can be a year, a quarter, a month, or even a fully-qualified date.
Default: Y0.
