The following files specify the supply input data contract for the MCE tool. These inputs are specific to the 24 hour peak-spread assignments. All input data are OMX or CSV format and located in the ./_mceInputs/ subdirectory for each alternative.
For each input, <time period> defines the hour of the assignment period. Format is <start hour + end hour>. Time periods are as follow:
0001: 00:00 - 01:00 (midnight - 1am)
0102: 01:00 - 02:00 (1am - 2am)
0203: 02:00 - 03:00 (2am - 3am)
0304: 03:00 - 04:00 (3am - 4am)

0506: 05:00 - 06:00 (5am - 6am)
0607: 06:00 - 07:00 (6am - 7am)
0708: 07:00 - 08:00 (7am - 8am)
0809: 08:00 - 09:00 (8am - 9am)
0910: 09:00 - 10:00 (9am - 10am)
