RELAX_CONSTRAINTS

If True (the default), several constraints are relaxed by setting default breach prices within the optimization problem, leading to the default priority:

1. Avoid breaching the site consumption/production capacity.

2. Avoid not meeting SoC minima/maxima.

3. Avoid breaching the desired device consumption/production capacity.

Priority 3 only applies when you ask for it: leaving this field at its default relaxes the first two, but keeps consumption-capacity and production-capacity hard. That is because a directional device capacity may state a physical impossibility (a heat pump that cannot produce) rather than an economic preference, and a default should not make that breachable at a price. Pass relax-constraints explicitly, or use relax-capacity-constraints, to relax device capacities as well.

For tighter control over prices and priorities, the breach prices can also be set explicitly (the relevant fields have breach-price in their name).
