Detail:

Generator Power Degradation is the annual degradation in generation capacity that occurs with age. This degradation primarily affects the following properties:

• Dispatchable Capacity
• Undispatched Capacity
• Capacity Factor
• No Cost Capacity
• Capacity Curtailed
• Hours Curtailed
• Curtailment Factor
• Flexibility Up
• Available Capacity
• Max Capacity
• Installed Capacity
• Rating
• Rated Capacity
• Firm Capacity
• Min Load
• Max Load
• Maintenance
• Forced Outage
• Pump Load

The average age of units at the start of the horizon can be set with the Initial Age property. In output, the property Age reports the average age of units at the end of each year.

See the article Age-based Degradation for more details.
