COUPLING_COEFFICIENT

Positive coupling magnitude for this device within its coupling group. The scheduler couples the power flows of all devices in the group: each device’s power is its coupling coefficient times the group’s common flow level. The flow direction of each device is inferred from its directional capacities: a device with consumption-capacity: "0 kW" is an output (producing) device, and a device with production-capacity: "0 kW" is an input (consuming) device. Exactly one of the two directional capacities must be set to a fixed zero for each coupled device. For example, a CHP unit with 50% thermal and 30% electrical efficiency uses a gas input device (coefficient 1), a heat output device (coefficient 0.5) and an electricity output device (coefficient 0.3). Defaults to 1.
