Variable Column
Column Type = Text
This column determines which variable is being referenced. The Constraint Coeff, or multiplier, is applied to this variable.
| OPTION | DESCRIPTION | |
 |
Resource Capability |
The MW capability of a resource. |
|
Resource Min Capacity |
The minimum capacity of a resource in MW. |
|
|
Zone Demand |
The zonal demand in MW. |
|
|
Zone Link Capacity |
The total link capacity between two zones. |
|
|
Ancillary Requirement |
The MW ancillary requirement for a particular ancillary product. |
|
 |
Resource Generation |
The total output in MW of the resource. |
|
Resource Online Status |
The value of this variable will be 1 if the unit is online and 0 if it is not running; it is only available for commitment and must run units. |
|
|
Resource Ancillary Contribution |
The MW contribution amount of the resource to a particular ancillary product. |
|
|
Area Net Flow |
The net flow in the zonal solution between two areas. |
|
|
Zone Net Flow |
The net flow in the zonal solution between two zones. |
|
|
Fuel Usage |
The total referenced fuel usage for a particular fuel. |
|
|
Branch Flow |
The flow on a nodal branch; both AC and DC branches can be referenced. |
|
|
Corridor Flow |
The flow on a nodal corridor. |
|
|
Storage Generation |
The MW generation for a storage resource. This will be 0 if the resource is charging. | |
|
Storage Charging |
The MW charging for a storage resource. This represents the MW value being pulled from the grid. This will be 0 if the resource is generating. | |
|
Storage End Contents |
The total MWh currently stored in the resource. | |
NOTE: To reference New Resource options in the resource-related variables, use the prefix NR_ID_ followed by the New Resource ID. This will cause all new resources in the system which came from that record in the New Resources table to receive the coefficient.
