Detail: |
Heat plant SRMC is the marginal (incremental) cost of HeatProduction, i.e. the variable cost associated with providing one more megawatt of GJ, and is defined as:
SRMC = Fuel Price x Marginal Heat Rate + VOM ChargeIf the heat production is zero, the simulator reports the SRMC at Max Capacity.
