Describe the workflow you want to enable

I wish I could specify the Pmin of hydro plant as a percentage of Pmax in real time given hydro generation is associated with its profile. In current implementation, we set Pmin to be 95% (or 100% need to confirm) of Pmax (from profile for each hour) to mandate hydro not being "curtail-able". However, that's not the case in an Europe grid model, where hydro power is operated more flexibly. So in desired implementation, the user could specify which hydro plants have mandate schedule and which ones are flexible by specifying Pmin as a percentage of Pmax.

Describe your proposed implementation, if applicable

Instead of hard coding it to be equality here, adding a user specified parameter of Pmin being a percentage of Pmax (profile number for each hour).

Describe alternatives you've considered, if relevant

For now, we can simply relax the constraint here to make hydro curtail-able similarly as wind and solar. We will need to check how different the power output of those hydro plants that we would like to mandate in the relaxed setup.

Additional context

This issue is considered as fully addressed when we have the capability of having both mandate and flexible hydro co-exist.
