Variable OM Cost

See also: Analysis View , Demand Analysis

Used when conducting full energy system optimization modeling and only available at optimized technology branches (). Use this variable to specify the annual variable operating and maintenance (O&M) cost per device of each optimized demand technology. Specified in currency units per unit of energy consumed.  Default value is zero.  Variable O&M costs should NOT include fuel costs.  Fuel costs are added automatically during LEAP's optimization calculations.
