Offline Ancillary Up Time Column
Column Type = Text

The Offline Ancillary Up Time column represents how long (in minutes) it will take for an offline unit to be online enough to provide ancillary services. It basically acts like a Boolean for each product, determining whether or not the resource can contribute to the product while offline.

For example, suppose a resource has an Offline Ancillary Up Time value of 30 minutes in the Resources table and participated in all four products shown below. When it was offline, it would only be able to contribute to the NonSpin product (since for Spin, RegDown, and RegUp, the Time Length < 30).

 NOTE: This field is only used for commitment resources.  A resource that is cycling is assumed to be able to ramp up quickly.
