A thermal generator, such as a fossil fuel and nuclear generator.

This is a standard representation with options to include a minimum up time, minimum down time, and ramp limits. For a more detailed representation the start-up and shut-down processes, including hot starts, see ThermalMultiStart

Arguments

  • name::String: Name of the component. Components of the same type (e.g., PowerLoad) must have unique names, but components of different types (e.g., PowerLoad and ACBus) can have the same name
  • available::Bool: Indicator of whether the component is connected and online (true) or disconnected, offline, or down (false). Unavailable components are excluded during simulations
  • status::Bool: Initial commitment condition at the start of a simulation (true = on or false = off)
  • bus::ACBus: The ACBus that this component is connected to
  • active_power::Float64: Initial active power set point of the unit in MW. For power flow, this is the steady state operating point of the system. For production cost modeling, this may or may not be used as the initial starting point for the solver, depending on the solver used, validation range: active_power_limits
  • reactive_power::Float64: Initial reactive power set point of the unit (MVAR), validation range: reactive_power_limits
  • rating::Float64: Maximum AC side output power rating of the unit. Stored in per unit of the device and not to be confused with base_power, validation range: (0, nothing)
  • active_power_limits::MinMax: Minimum and maximum stable active power levels (MW), validation range: (0, nothing)
  • reactive_power_limits::Union{Nothing, MinMax}: Minimum and maximum reactive power limits. Set to Nothing if not applicable
  • ramp_limits::Union{Nothing, UpDown}: ramp up and ramp down limits in MW/min, validation range: (0, nothing)
  • operation_cost::Union{ThermalGenerationCost, MarketBidCost}: OperationalCost of generation
  • base_power::Float64: Base power of the unit (MVA) for per unitization, validation range: (0.0001, nothing)
  • time_limits::Union{Nothing, UpDown}: (default: nothing) Minimum up and Minimum down time limits in hours, validation range: (0, nothing)
  • must_run::Bool: (default: false) Set to true if the unit is must run
  • prime_mover_type::PrimeMovers: (default: PrimeMovers.OT) Prime mover technology according to EIA 923. See PrimeMovers.
  • fuel::ThermalFuels: (default: ThermalFuels.OTHER) Prime mover fuel according to EIA 923. See ThermalFuels.
  • services::Vector{Service}: (default: Device[]) Services that this device contributes to
  • time_at_status::Float64: (default: INFINITE_TIME) Time (e.g., Hours(6)) the generator has been on or off, as indicated by status
  • dynamic_injector::Union{Nothing, DynamicInjection}: (default: nothing) corresponding dynamic injection device
  • ext::Dict{String, Any}: (default: Dict{String, Any}()) An extra dictionary for users to add metadata that are not used in simulation.
  • internal::InfrastructureSystemsInternal: (Do not modify.) PowerSystems.jl internal reference
