You keep talking about generators, though. If the generators are outside of
your program, then yes, you need to read in whatever they produce.
As I understood it, the "generators" don't generate the data, they are
the subject of the data: Devices that generate electricity by burning
fuel and he's modelling some aspect of their operation. Maybe efficiency
or power output or something like that (I tried to search for "IHR
curve", but couldn't find anything).
If you expand "IHR curve" to "incremental heat rate curve", you'll get
better results. When power engineers talk, we say the first, when we
publish papers, we write the second.
If you want to see the bigger picture, search on "Economic Dispatch".
In fact, doing so points me to something written by a guy I worked with
back in the 1980s:

Slide 3 even shows a piecewise-linear curve.

A preposition is something you should never end a sentence with.
