Topic: Varying maximum availabilitySubscribe | Previous | Next

Hello.
I just started using LEAP and I have a question. I know that
we can vary maximum availability using Yearly Shape function. But is it
possible to provide a new max availability for every year for my entire
forecast period? What I mean by this is, say I want maximum availability to be
70% in 2019 and I want it to increase gradually every year for my entire
forecast period (till like 2040). Is it possible to provide such varying
availability data?

1 Like Hi Chandrasekhar -
Yes this is possible. You have two options:
- Create two different yearly shapes, and assign one ("shape A") to the Maximum Availability under Current Accounts, and the other ("shape B)" the the Maximum Availability in a scenario of your choice. LEAP will automatically interpolate each data point in the curve from A to B, reaching yearly shape B in the end year of your scenario.
- If you want more control, you can build the yearly shapes manually using either the TimeSliceValue() or TimeSliceGroupValue() functions. As part of the expressions' arguments, you could point to another variable or a Key Assumption, which you may vary as you wish.
Good luck,
Taylor
