Units = $/MWh
This column shows the cost as calculated based upon the Incr_Heat Rate. Generally this includes fuel, variable O&M, and emission costs (if applicable). Variable O&M and emissions costs can be excluded from the cost calculation by unchecking the Include variable O&M costs in dispatch and Include emissions costs in dispatch check boxes in the Dispatch and Demand folder of the Simulation Options. Startup costs are excluded here, but are reported separately in the Startup_Cost column and as part of the Total_Cost_MWh column.
