Demand parameters
These parameters define exogenous demands in a scenario. Demands can be specified on an annual basis or distributed across time slices.
Accumulated annual demand
Exogenous demand that is not time sliced. NEMO ensures the demand is met, but it may be met at any point in the specified year.

| Name | Type | Description |

id | integer | Unique identifier for row |
r | text | Region |
f | text | Fuel |
y | text | Year |
val | real | Demand (region's energy unit) |
Specified annual demand
Time-sliced exogenous demand. Use this parameter to specify the total demand in a year, and SpecifiedDemandProfile to assign the demand to time slices. NEMO ensures the demand is met in each time slice.

If you define specified annual demand for a non time-sliced fuel, NEMO treats it as analogous to accumulated annual demand (i.e., as demand at the annual level, ignoring the specified demand profile).
Specified demand profile
Fraction of specified annual demand assigned to a time slice. For a given fuel and year, the sum of SpecifiedDemandProfile across time slices should be 1.
