Maintenance Priority Column
Column Type = Text
This column is used to in conjunction with the Maintenance Study functionality. It is used to specify the order in which units are scheduled. This is input as a positive integer, with the lowest priority groups being scheduled first. If multiple units are given the same priority number, they will be ranked within that group based on their GW-days of outage. All units within the same priority group will be scheduled exclusively of each other within their respective zone or pool (i.e., outages will not overlap).
NOTE: Take care not to over-populate any given group to ensure a sufficient number of days are available to reasonably schedule all units. A warning will be produced should this happen. A blank entry in this field signifies that this plant is not a member of any priority group – in this case overlapping outages would be expected.
NOTE: If the FUEL reference is specified for this variable the value in the Fuel table will be applied.
