**Technology ID: LNG_IMPORTS**



**Output energy interface, with default energy:**

 - PRODUCTION: gas

**Technology behaviors:**

 - MUST_RUN
 - VOLUME_TARGET

**Technology parameters:**

| ID | Label | Unit | Behaviors | Description  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| PMAX | Pmax | MW | not MUST_RUN | Installed power capacity |
| MIN_LOAD | Fleet min load | % | not MUST_RUN | Minimum production level, expressed as a percentage of the available capacity |
| AVAILABILITY | Availability | % | not MUST_RUN | Available capacity, expressed as a percentage of the installed capacity |
| MINIMUM_VOLUME | Minimal target volume | MW.h | VOLUME_TARGET and not MUST_RUN | Minimal export volume over the horizon |
| STORAGE_CAPACITY | Storage capacity | MW.h | VOLUME_TARGET and not MUST_RUN | Storage capacity |
| MIN_PROFILE | Minimal export profile | % | VOLUME_TARGET and not MUST_RUN | Minimal export profile |
| STORAGE_AVAILABILITY | Storage availability | % | VOLUME_TARGET and not MUST_RUN | Storage availability, expressed as a percentage of the installed storage capacity |
| IMPORTS | Imports | MW | MUST_RUN | Sets inelastic imports |
| PRODUCTION_COST_CURVE | Production cost | Euro/MW.h |  | Production cost (emission cost excluded) |
|  |

**Model code:**

``` python
# Asset parameters definition
cost = asset.getData(PRODUCTION_COST_CURVE)
# Modelling asset state ON
stateON = AssetState('ON')
   
if asset.isActiveBehavior(BH_MUST_RUN):
	stateON.setEquality(asset.getParameter(ENERGY_DELIVERY), False, asset.getData(IMPORTS))
else:
	addTargetInVolume(asset, stateON, interfaceName=ENERGY_DELIVERY, isInput=False, maxVolume=STORAGE_CAPACITY, minVolume="MINIMUM_VOLUME" , maxProfile=STORAGE_AVAILABILITY, minProfile="MIN_PROFILE")
	addEnergyProduction(asset, stateON, energyDelivery=ENERGY_DELIVERY, productionCost=None, pmax=PMAX)

addEnergyCost(stateON, asset.getParameter(ENERGY_DELIVERY), False, cost, asset=asset)
finalize(stateON)
