Both the Churn Proportion and Decommissioning Proportion inputs are now qualified with an accompanying Churn Mode or Decommissioning Mode input, as described in the table below.
Annual Proportion
|
Remove proportion of current capacity scaled to 1 – (1 – p)dt.
This is the new default value.
|
Relative Profile |
Prescribes a cumulative proportion of capacity to remove over time from that remaining when the input profile was last zero. |
Absolute Profile |
Prescribes a cumulative absolute capacity to remove over time from that remaining when the input profile was last zero. |
Instantaneous Proportion |
Remove proportion of current capacity without scaling (legacy option which will be set when an existing model is upgraded to STEM 7.5 for backwards compatibility). |
New options for Churn Mode and Decommissioning Mode in STEM 7.5
These inputs can be set independently of one another and are described in more detail, with accompanying examples, in the following sections.
