Generator Outage Pump Load

Units:MW
Mode:Input Only
Multi-band:True
Default Value:1E+30
Validation Rule:Any Value
Key Property:No
Description:Load drawn by a unit in pumping mode

Generator Outage Pump Load is the load drawn by a unit in pumping mode when an outage of the given type (band) occurs. This is the pumping analog of the Outage Rating property.

Example

In the following example there are two 'types' of outage defined:

Property Value Units Band Date From Date To Timeslice Data File Scenario Memo
Units 1 - 1
Max Capacity 10 MW 1
Pump Load 15 MW 1
Pump Efficiency 75 % 1
Units Out 1 - 1 H4,7
Units Out 1 - 2 H5-6
Outage Rating 4 MW 1 Partial generation outage
Outage Rating 0 MW 2 Full generation outage
Outage Pump Load 6 MW 1 Partial pump outage
Outage Pump Load 15 MW 2 No pump outage

NOTE: Be default a generation outage defined either by Units Out or by setting Rating to zero will result in zero pumping. This can be overridden by setting the Outage Pump Load alone as in the following example:

Property Value Units Band Date From Date To Timeslice Data File Scenario Memo
Units 1 - 1
Max Capacity 10 MW 1
Pump Load 15 MW 1
Pump Efficiency 75 % 1
Rating 0 MW 1 H4,7 Rating.csv
Outage Pump Load 15 MW 1 Ensure generation outages do not affect the pump load
