Properties
DemandFlexNeed is an **OpenADR 3.1.0-aligned time series** (one interval per tranche) — the single, unified Need shape for uc1 (monopsony, DISCOM fixes the clearing price) and uc2 (pay-as-clear auction). Columns are open in the schema; each contract policy rego imposes its own hard-const column set.
