Ignore In Capacity Pricing Column
Column Type = Text
The optional Ignore In Capacity Pricing column is used to identify resources that should not be eligible to set capacity prices. This is especially useful when modeling RPS policies where renewable resources have to be built but should not participate in the capacity market.
When this column is set to True for new resources that are forced to be built (via RPS, Annual Min, Overall Min, etc.), those resources do not directly set the capacity prices. However, their reliable capacity will still be considered as contributing to the reserve margin target and they will receive capacity revenue based on their capacity and peak credit values.
NOTE: Annual Time Series are allowed for this column based on the vintage of the new resource option, i.e. a single value (True/False) is selected from the time series based on the resource begin year and then held constant throughout the study. For information on how to specify a time series for a variable, see Entering a Time Series.
NOTE: If you specify this variable's FUEL reference, the value in the Fuel Table will be applied.
