#### Production costs and limits
Production costs are represented as piecewise-linear curves. Figure 1 shows an example cost curve with three segments, where it costs \$1400, \$1600, \$2200 and \$2400 to generate, respectively, 100, 110, 130 and 135 MW of power. To model this generator, `Production cost curve (MW)` should be set to `[100, 110, 130, 135]`, and `Production cost curve ($)` should be set to `[1400, 1600, 2200, 2400]`.
