INFLEXIBLE_PRODUCTION

Power (or energy) sensors representing generators that are relevant, but not flexible in the timing of their supply. For example, a sensor recording rooftop solar power that is connected behind the main meter, and whose production falls under the same contract as the flexible device(s) being scheduled. Their power supply cannot be adjusted but still matters for finding the best schedule for other devices.

The sign convention is determined by the key name: positive values denote production (the FlexMeasures default). Sensors that explicitly record production as negative values (consumption_is_positive attribute set to true) are rejected here; list them under inflexible-consumption instead.

Must be a list of sensor references, optionally with source filters, and optionally each assigned to a group (so the device’s measured supply counts towards that group’s intermediate power constraint).
