📈 Dynamic release and power computation based on head-power-flow tables that can be easily constructed using efficiency curves specified for individual units at each plant (see offline, maximum efficiency DP model for unit commitment)
⚡ Realized hydropower and power violations determined after accounting for water availbility, pool level, and release constraints
⚡ Realized hydropower, target-power deviations, and limiting-cause diagnostics after accounting for water availability, pool level, and release constraints
⏩ Fast run times (~0.05s for an 8 reservoir network simulated over 168 hours) allow for thousands of simulations on desktop machines, paving the way for many interations within a model coupling environment, or for uncertainty analysis using probabilistic inflow forecasts
- Input `min_release` / `max_release` constrain total controlled outflow, not passive spill.
- Output `release` and `target_release` remain turbine-only series.
-`violation_target_power_shortfall` records unmet target power even when end-of-step constraint violations are zero.
-`violation_target_power_excess` records over-generation above the requested target, such as when minimum release constraints force extra turbine flow.
-`limiting_cause` is a per-timestep summary label such as `none`, `below_power_pool`, `water_availability`, `max_release`, `min_release`, `min_non_power_release`, `hpf_max_power`, `hpf_min_power`, or `max_operating_elevation`.
