Charging Cost Column

This column is used to specify the costs incurred while the unit is charging. This column is entered as a $/MWh cost and is added to the costs for the amount of energy pulled from the grid in the hour. If specified, this cost overrides the Variable O&M cost of charging.

This cost is reported in the Variable OM Cost Charging column in the Resource output tables.

 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.
