GROUP

Reference to a group of devices whose aggregate power is constrained. The recommended form identifies the group by the asset that represents the shared equipment ({"asset": <id>}, e.g. a sub-EMS asset in the tree); a power sensor ({"sensor": <id>}) is also accepted - give exactly one of the two. The referenced asset or sensor should itself get its own flex-model entry defining the group’s power-capacity (hard constraint) and/or consumption-capacity/production-capacity (soft constraints with default breach prices). When the group is referenced by asset, the group entry defines no power sensor of its own; the group’s aggregate power is saved via that entry’s own consumption and/or production output sensors, following the usual output-sensor conventions. When the group is referenced by sensor, the group’s scheduled aggregate power is saved directly to that group sensor.
