Heat Plant SRMC

Units: $/GJ (Metric), $/MMBtu (U.S. Imperial)
Mode: Output Only
Multi-band: False
Default Value:
Validation Rule:
Key Property: No
Description: Short-run marginal cost (Fuel + VO&M + Emissions)
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 Charge

If the heat production is zero, the simulator reports the SRMC at Max Capacity.
