AGGREGATE_CONSUMPTION

Sensor used to record the aggregate consumption schedule of all flexible and inflexible devices involved when scheduling this asset.

The sign convention is determined by the key name, and is stored on the sensor itself using the consumption_is_positive attribute.

Depending on which output sensors are defined:

• Only aggregate-consumption defined: the full aggregate power schedule is stored on this sensor using the consumption-positive sign convention (consumption positive, production negative).

• Only aggregate-production defined: the full aggregate power schedule is stored on the aggregate-production sensor with the production-positive convention (production positive, consumption negative).

• Both defined: only the non-negative part of the aggregate schedule is stored on this sensor (zero for time steps with net production), and only the non-positive part (sign-flipped) is stored on the aggregate-production sensor.
