UBB Bidding Shape
Column Type = Text
The UBB Bidding Shape column allows users to specify a bidding shape for the Upper Bidding Block (UBB) of a resource. The UBB bidding shape value is multiplied by the energy. The commitment penalty for non-committed non-cycling units will override any bidding factor set for those units. For both “Must Run” and committed units, bidding is only applied to the dispatchable segment of the unit and not the minimum segment.
NOTE: If the FUEL reference is specified for this variable the value in the Fuel Table will be applied.
NOTE: The Upper Bidding Block (UBB) segment size and heat rate must be specified for the resource.
NOTE: The Use Bidding Logic switch must be set to apply bidding logic to the study, located in the Resource folder of Simulation Options.
NOTE: Inputs can be specified for any time period (annual, monthly, weekly, hourly or sub-hourly). For information on how to specify a time series for a variable, see Entering a Time Series.
