| Description: | Load point for use with multi-band Max Ramp Up constraints |
Generator Ramp Up Point is a multi-band property that defines the load point for use with multi-band Max Ramp Up constraints. These should be defined with equal number of bands of Max Ramp Up as in the following example. The ramp limit in the band applies up to the point defined in the band.
Example:
| Property | Value | Units | Band |
|---|---|---|---|
| Max Capacity | 1000 | MW | 1 |
| Max Ramp Up | 2 | MW/min. | 1 |
| Max Ramp Up | 3 | MW/min. | 2 |
| Max Ramp Up | 3.5 | MW/min. | 3 |
| Max Ramp Up | 2 | MW/min. | 4 |
| Ramp Up Point | 250 | MW/min. | 1 |
| Ramp Up Point | 500 | MW/min. | 2 |
| Ramp Up Point | 750 | MW/min. | 3 |
| Ramp Up Point | 1000 | MW/min. | 4 |
| Max Ramp Up Penalty | 100 | $/MW | 1 |
Note that the ramp penalty is also multi-band which allows different penalties for different generation levels.
