Used when conducting full energy system optimization modeling and only available for demand technologies at optimized technology branches. This variable specifies numbers of devices added exoegnously in each scenario (i.e. regardless of the optimal value).  It is most commonly used used to specify devicesthat existed at the start of the scenario period.  The default value is 0.
