Generator Reference Generation

Units:	MW
Mode:	Input Only
Multi-band:	False
Default Value:	0
Validation Rule:	Any Value
Key Property:	No
Description:	Generation level for generation slack PTDF calculation
Detail:

Generator Reference Generation is used to enter the reference generation case that will be used to distribute the 'slack' when calculating shift factors. These are only required if the appropriate Transmission PTDF Method is selected.

Example:

Generator	Property	Value	Units
G1	Reference Generation	200	MW
G2	Reference Generation	120	MW
G3	Reference Generation	MW

Note that PLEXOS will automatically normalize the reference generation case i.e. for a one megawatt injection at a generation bus i each generation bus (j≠ i) is assigned the slack:

( Generator Reference Generation ) / ∑ (j≠ i) ( Generator Reference Generation )
