* GAMS does read parameters with the value 0 as if they were not there. To set a constraint to 0, set it to "eps" instead. * GAMS does read parameters with the value 0 as if they were not there. To set a constraint to 0, set it to "eps" instead.
* **I have a powerplant with zero capacity and no investment capacity, but it still shows up in my results.**
* If a parameter is 0, backbone treats it as if it was not set. In this case this leads to backbone assigning an infite capacity to your powerplant. Use capacity = eps instead.
* **I have set an emissionCap/energyShareMax/energyShareMin, but my model does not seem to care.** * **I have set an emissionCap/energyShareMax/energyShareMin, but my model does not seem to care.**
* For these constraints you have to use the invest model. In the schedule model, these constraints are ignored. * For these constraints you have to use the invest model. In the schedule model, these constraints are ignored.
