FossilFuel
Class Description
The fossil fuel consumed by the non-nuclear thermal generating unit. For example, coal, oil, gas, etc. These are the specific fuels that the generating unit can consume.
Attributes
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| fossilFuelType | FuelType | The type of fossil fuel, such as coal, oil, or gas. |
| fuelCost | CostPerHeatUnit | The cost in terms of heat value for the given type of fuel. |
| fuelDispatchCost | CostPerHeatUnit | The cost of fuel used for economic dispatching which includes: fuel cost, transportation cost, and incremental maintenance cost. |
| fuelEffFactor | PU | The efficiency factor for the fuel (per unit) in terms of the effective energy absorbed. |
| fuelHandlingCost | CostPerHeatUnit | Handling and processing cost associated with this fuel. |
| fuelHeatContent | Float | The amount of heat per weight (or volume) of the given type of fuel. |
| fuelMixture | PerCent | Relative amount of the given type of fuel, when multiple fuels are being consumed. |
| fuelSulfur | PU | The fuel's fraction of pollution credit per unit of heat content. |
| highBreakpointP | ActivePower | The active power output level of the unit at which the given type of fuel is switched on. This fuel (e.g., oil) is sometimes used to supplement the base fuel (e.g., coal) at high active power output levels. |
| lowBreakpointP | ActivePower | The active power output level of the unit at which the given type of fuel is switched off. This fuel (e.g., oil) is sometimes used to stabilize the base fuel (e.g., coal) at low active power output levels. |
