  • Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? bug

  • What is the current behavior? If generator_only_runs_during_grid_outage=True, then the generator size output is zero, even if non-zero existing generator or minimum size is given. In addition to the size being incorrect, this will affect costs (O&M and, if gen not existing, capX) and cause issues in postprocessing (e.g. outage simulator script).

  • If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem via https://plnkr.co or similar (you can use this template as a starting point: http://plnkr.co/edit/tpl:AvJOMERrnz94ekVua0u5).

  • specify a non-zero existing_kw or min_kw for Generator
  • set generator_only_runs_during_grid_outage=True
  • don’t put in an outage (outage start and end are null)
  • What is the expected behavior? If generator_only_runs_during_grid_outage=True, then generator size_kw output should be existing_kw+min_kw

  • What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior? incorrect output

  • Please tell us about your environment:
