Attributes

NameTypeDescription
RMNRFlagYesNoReliability must not run (RMNR) flag: indicated whether the RMR unit is set as an RMNR in the current market
RMRFlagFlagTypeRMRReliability must run (RMR) flag: indicates whether the unit is RMR; Indicates whether the unit is RMR:
N' - not an RMR unit
'1' - RMR Condition 1 unit
'2' - RMR Condition 2 unit
RMRManualIndicatorYesNoIndicates the RMR Manual pre-determination status [Y/N]
RMTFlagYesNoReliability must take (RMT) flag (Yes/No): indicates whether the unit is RMT
capacityFactorPerCentThe ratio of actual energy produced by resource divided by the maximum potential energy if the resource is fully utilized. As an example, wind farms.
coldStartTimeFloatCold start time.
combinedCycleOperatingModeStringCombined Cycle operating mode.
commericialOperationDateDateTime
constrainedOutputFlagYesNoConstrained Output Generator (COG) Indicator (Yes/No), per Generating Resource
energyDownRampRateActivePowerChangeRateResponse rate in MW per minute for ramping energy down.
energyUpRampRateActivePowerChangeRateResponse rate in MW per minute for ramping energy up.
extremeLongStartYesNoSome long-start up time units may need to receive start up instruction before DA market results are available. Long-Start resources may be either physical resources within the control with start-up times greater than 18 hours or the long-start contractual inter-tie commitment that shall be completed by 6 am one-day ahead. Therefore, there is a need for a process to determine the commitment of such resources before the DA market.
fuelSourceFuelSourceValues: Natural Gas Based Resource, Non Natural Gas Based Resource
"NG" - Natural-Gas-Based Resource - a Resource that is powered by Natural Gas
"NNG" - Non-Natural-Gas-Based Resource - a Resouce that is powered by some other fuel than Natural Gas
highControlLimitActivePowerHigh limit for secondary (AGC) control
hotIntTimeFloatHot-to-intermediate time (Seasonal)
hotStartTimeFloatHot start time.
intColdTimeFloatIntermediate-to-cold time (Seasonal)
intStartTimeFloatIntermediate start time.
loadFollowingDownMSSYesNoCertifies resources for use in MSS Load Following Down
loadFollowingUpMSSYesNoCertifies resources for use in MSS Load Following Up
lowControlLImitActivePowerLow limit for secondary (AGC) control
maxDependableCapActivePowerMaximum Dependable Capacity (MNDC). Maximun Net Dependable Capacity is used in association with an RMR contract.
maxMinLoadCostCostRateThe registered maximum Minimum Load Cost of a Generating Resource registered with a Cost Basis of "Bid Cost".
maxPumpingLevelActivePowermax pumping level of a hydro pump unit
maxShutdownTimeDateTimeMaximum time this device can be shut down.
maxStartUpsPerDayIntegermaximum start ups per day
maxWeeklyEnergyFloatMaximum weekly Energy (Seasonal)
maxWeeklyStartsIntegerMaximum weekly starts (seasonal parameter)
maximumAllowableSpinningReserveActivePowerMaximum allowable spinning reserve. Spinning reserve will never be considered greater than this value regardless of the current operating point.
maximumOperatingLimitActivePowerThis is the maximum operating MW limit the dispatcher can enter for this unit
minLoadCostCostRateminimum load cost. Value is (currency/hr)
minimumLoadCostBasisCostBasisThe cost basis for minimum load.
minimumLoadFuelCostCostPerHeatUnitThe cost for the fuel required to get a Generating Resource to operate at the minimum load level
minimumOperatingLimitActivePowerThis is the minimum operating MW limit the dispatcher can enter for this unit.
mustOfferRAYesNoFlag to indicate that this unit is a resource adequacy resource and must offer.
nameplateCapacityActivePowerMW value stated on the nameplate of the Generator -- the value it potentially could provide.
operatingMaintenanceCostCostPerEnergyUnitThe portion of the Operating Cost of a Generating Resource that is not related to fuel cost.
pumpMinDownTimeFloatThe minimum down time for the pump in a pump storage unit.
pumpMinUpTimeFloatThe minimum up time aspect for the pump in a pump storage unit
pumpShutdownCostFloatThe cost to shutdown a pump during the pump aspect of a pump storage unit.
pumpShutdownTimeIntegerThe shutdown time (minutes) of the pump aspect of a pump storage unit.
pumpingCostCostRate
pumpingFactorFloatPumping factor for pump storage units, conversion factor between generating and pumping.
quickStartFlagYesNoQuick start flag (Yes/No). Identifies the registered generator as a quick start unit. A quick start unit is a unit that has the ability to be available for load within a 30 minute period.
rampCurveTypeRampCurveTypeRamp curve type. Identifies the type of curve which may be a fixed, static or dynamic.
regulationDownRampRateActivePowerChangeRateRegulation down response rate in MW per minute
regulationFlagUnitRegulationKindSpecifies if the unit is regulating or not regulating or expected to be regulating but is not.
regulationUpRampRateActivePowerChangeRateRegulation up response rate in MW per minute.
resourceSubTypeStringUnit sub type used by Settlements or scheduling application. Application use of the unit sub type may define the necessary types as applicable.
riverSystemStringRiver System the Resource is tied to.
spinRampRateActivePowerChangeRateResponse rate in MW per minute for spinning reserve.
startUpCostBasisCostBasisThe cost basis for start up.
syncCondCapableYesNoIs the Resource Synchronous Condenser capable Resource?
unitTypeUnitTypeGenerating unit type: Combined Cycle, Gas Turbine, Hydro Turbine, Other, Photovoltaic, Hydro Pump-Turbine, Reciprocating Engine, Steam Turbine, Synchronous Condenser, Wind Turbine
useLimitFlagYesNoUse limit flag: indicates if the use-limited resource is fully scheduled (or has some slack for real-time dispatch) (Y/N)
variableEnergyResourceYesNoProvides an indication that this resource is intending to participate in an intermittent resource program.
