Commit Uplift Method Column (Optional)
Column Type = Text
This column determines the method used to apply the Uplift logic and is used in conjunction with the Commit Uplift Vector column. When using this logic, the model will calculate an hourly commitment uplift payment for the zone. This represents the money needed to make marginal only or all commitment resources whole in addition to the actual market clearing price. Available options are:
- None - does not invoke the Uplift logic (regardless of values in Commit Uplift Vector column)
- Marg Resource - uplift payment based on the marginal resource cost
- Make Whole - provides uplift to make all of the commitment units whole in the zone
Default: if the column does not exist or is blank, the default method will be Marg Resource when there are values in Commit Uplift Vector column.
See the Knowledge Base article Zonal Commitment Uplift Logic for more detailed information.
NOTE: The uplift logic is a post-processing calculation and will not affect the actual dispatch of plants.
