Fuel Table

The Fuel table provides information on fuel types and general defaults for resource assumptions. It provides a high degree of flexibility in specifying fuel prices and other variable and fixed resource costs. The table also allows for input of real fuel escalation and monthly shaping factors.  

Other resource assumptions, such as variable O&M, are used only when the Resources table contains the input "FUEL" for the variable.

NOTE: Any Fuel Type starting with "Wat" (case insensitive) will cause a resource referenced to that fuel to be treated as a hydro resource.  Any Fuel Type starting with "Sto" or "PS" (case insensitive) will cause a resource referenced to that fuel to be treated as a storage project.  However, new resource fuel alternatives cannot be of type hydro or storage.  Any Fuel with Fuel Type of "Conservation," "DSM," or starting with "Load" (case insensitive), such as "Load Control," will cause a resource referenced to that fuel to be treated as a conservation or demand side project.

Several inputs will affect the final reported price for a given fuel. These include the Price, Escalation, Monthly Shape Vector, and Reference Fuel columns in the Fuel table, as well as Daily Change adjustments, risk draws, and inflation. Here is the order in which these will be applied, when applicable:

• First the input Price will be converted to nominal dollars via the Inflation Vector.  

• Then the Escalation factor and Monthly Shape Vector will be applied as multipliers.

• After which Daily Change adjustments will be made.  

• Risk draws will be applied after any daily change adjustment.  

• The nominal price of the Reference Fuel is added very last.
