1-3 days (24-72 timesteps) per segment are recommended for

operational analysis

Any number of Segments (seasons) may be specified

by clicking New.

The sum of Weight over all Segments must equal one year (365 when Timestep

is set as 24 hours)

The load and price profiles given for each component is multiplied with the Coefficient for the respective Segment
