| Description: | Reserve type |
| Detail: |
Reserve Type sets the type of reserve. The option can take these values:
- Raise (value = 1)
- A raise service (spin up) provided by generator spare capacity, synchronous condenser response, or interruptible loads
- Lower (value = 2)
- A lower service (spin down) provided by reducing generation or increasing load
- Regulation (value = 7)
- A regulation service provided by the generator either raising or lowering generation or load
- Regulation Raise (value = 3)
- A regulation raise service provided by generator spare capacity or interruptible loads not already in use by raise services
- Regulation Lower (value = 4)
- A regulation lower service provided by reducing generation or increasing load not already in use by lower services
- Replacement (value = 5)
- A replacement (non-spinning) reserve service provided by off-line generators
- Operational (value = 6)
- Combined raise and replacement service
- Inertia (value = 8)
- A requirement to maintain a minimum level of inertia on the system, where the inertia available is determined by the Inertia Constant property.
NOTE: For Regulation reserve, the raising and lower reserves provided by the generator are the same megawatt amount.
