Delay command in a flow

Vishah · Post by **Vishah** » Tue Jun 15, 2010 9:01 am

I want to obtain values of the 'cost of the new solar capacity in the previous year" which is a flow. I equation window, i changed the TYPE to: 'Level' 'Fixed delay' and used the equation:
Cost of new solar capacity next year/time to adjust cost.
However, i get an error in the equation. Is there anyone who can help?

Look at the model attached in which delayfixed is used .
With Synthesym check operation in the table for different values of N (age of value to retrieve)

Vishah,

From your description the equation would be

cost in the past = DELAY FIXED(cost,cost delay time)

The the entries are separated by a , (not a /).
