Fixed O&M Column
Column Type = Text

The Fixed O&M column allows the user to specify the fixed operation and maintenance expense (plus any investment carrying costs) for a resource, expressed in Currency per MW-week. For more information about how the costs are derived, see the Knowledge Base article Capital Work Calculations Workbook.

A typical input with a 3 $/MWh fixed O&M for a unit in full operation which applies this calculation 3x168 hours per week = $504. Since fixed O&M is not dependent on plant operation, the fixed cost is applied regardless of plant operation.

 NOTE: If the FUEL reference is specified for this variable the value in the Fuel Table will be applied.

 

 NOTE: Specify inputs for any time period (annually, monthly, weekly, hourly, or sub-hourly). For information on specifying a variable's time series, see Entering a Time Series.
