Generator Ramp Up

Units: MW
Mode: Output Only
Multi-band: False
Default Value:
Validation Rule:
Key Property: No
Description: Total ramping up
Detail:

Generator Ramp Up is the total ramping up in the period, and is defined as:

Ramp Up = MAX (0, Generationt - Generation(t-1) )

where:
t indexes periods of the simulation.
The t=0 value of Generation refers to the previous simulation step and for step one it is set with the Initial Generation property.

This is distinct from Ramp which reports the ramping rate in megawatts per minute.Ramp Up can be used in combination with Minutes of Ramp Up to determine the intensity of ramping up over any period.
