UBB Heat Rate
Column Type = Text
The UBB Heat Rate column is used to specify the incremental heat rate that will be applied to the Upper Bidding Block (UBB) portion of the resource. This is entered as heat content per kWh (Btu/kWh). To be applied, a UBB Segment Size must be specified for the resource.
See the Knowledge Base article UBB Heat Rate Considerations for more information.
NOTE: UBB segments are not considered when the unit is making its commitment decision.
NOTE: If the FUEL reference is specified for this variable the value in the Fuel table will be applied.
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.
