| Description: | Generator <name> Heat Rate band count does not match Generator Load Point band count. |
Message 78 occurs when you define a multi-point heat rate function without the matching Load Point values. Multi-point functions can be defined with either Heat Rate (average heat rate), Heat Rate Incr (marginal heat rate) or Efficiency Incr (marginal efficiency). When you define these values with more than one band you must provide a matching number of bands of Load Point as in the following example using three bands.
Example
| Property | Value | Units | Band |
|---|---|---|---|
| Load Point | 47.5 | MW | 1 |
| Load Point | 71.25 | MW | 2 |
| Load Point | 95 | MW | 3 |
| Heat Rate | 7575 | BTU/kWh | 1 |
| Heat Rate | 7300 | BTU/kWh | 2 |
| Heat Rate | 7000 | BTU/kWh | 3 |
