Cycle Only Capacity Column
Column Type = Text
Aurora has the ability to model commitment units which, if not committed, may also have the ability to run in a cycling mode with a modified capacity, heat rate, and startup cost (e.g. running the simple cycle portion of a combined cycle unit). This option can only be applied to resources which are defined as Non-cycling and is activated by populating the Cycle Only Capacity column with a nonzero value.
The Cycle Only Capacity column is used to specify the ratio of cycling capacity to full unit capacity (e.g., 0.6).
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.
