Process Shares

If you have specified PercentShare in the Dispatch Rule variable, you will use this screen to enter the percentage share of energy requirements met by each process.

Because you can mix and match different dispatch rules it is possible to dispatch some processes by share and others by merit order.  For example, you may wish to model a renewable portfolio standard that requires that (say) 15% of electric generation comes from wind and other renewable sources.  These can be modeled using a percentage share dispatch, while other conventional power plants can be dispatched by merit order.  For this reason, process shares do not need to sum to 100%, although they should sum to less than or equal to 100%.
