Fixed O&M Column
Column Type = Text
The Fixed O&M column allows the user to specify the fixed operation and maintenance cost (plus any investment carrying costs) for a resource, expressed in Currency per MW-week.
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 you specify this variable's FUEL reference, 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.
This value can be seen individually in the Fixed_Cost_Base output column or included with other fixed costs in the Fixed_Cost output column.
