Maximum Devices

See also: Analysis View , Demand Analysis, Exogenous Devices, Minimum Devices, Minimum Device Additions, Maximum Device Additions

Used when conducting full energy system optimization modeling and only available for demand technologies at optimized technology branches. This constraint specifies the maximum number of devices at a branch. The default value is unlimited. 

Numbers of devices are calculated during energy system optimization calculations based on the overall level of energy demand, the load shape, and the unit capacity of each device. Look at result variable Demand Devices to see the total number of devices in each year at each demand branch.
