MIN_LOAD	Fleet min load	%		Minimum production level, expressed as a percentage of the available capacity

Model code:

# Asset parameters definition
productionCostWithIncentive = asset.getData(PRODUCTION_COST) - asset.getData(INCENTIVE)
# Modelling asset state ON
stateON = AssetState('ON')
addEnergyProduction(asset, stateON, productionCost=productionCostWithIncentive)
finalize(stateON)
