Operating Life Column
Column Type = Number
The Operating Life column is used to limit how long a new resource is allowed to operate in the system. For example, the value 10 would restrict the resource to only 10 years of operation before then removing it from the system.
This is an optional column. Without this column, or null/blank values, the Resource End Date will be set to 12/31/YYYY where YYYY is the year after the end of the LT study.
Use the View Merged Resource Table option to see the new resources with the operating life applied to the Resource End Date.
NOTE: Inputs can be specified for any time period (annual, monthly, weekly, hourly or sub-hourly). For information on how to specify a time series for a variable, see Entering a Time Series.
