Break point seriesΒΆ
A state defined at a timestamp remains in effect until a new value is provided. After the final value in the dataset, the system remains in a constant state. Therefore, the only strict requirement is that the first data point occurs at, or before, the start of the data_period. While data can extend beyond the defined data period, such values are ignored by the model. Example of a break point series is shown below. Here a synthetic example of a minimum discharge limit for a hydropower station with 6 break points.
