Incr_Heat_Rate Column
Units = Btu/kWh
For a Unit, this column shows the incremental heat rate for the segment currently dispatching that hour. If the unit is running at minimum or is offline, the incremental heat rate of the first dispatchable segment will be reported.
For a Segment (as defined by the Report_Level and Dispatch_Segment columns), this shows the incremental heat rate for that segment. For segments defined with the Heat Rate Definition table, the segment heat rates reported here should match the input heat rates if Type Incremental is used.
For non-hourly reports, the value reported here will be an average of hourly results.
Note that for commitment units the Committed Heat Rate is only applied to the dispatchable portion of the resource, thus it is possible for this value to report the Heat Rate at Minimum when the units is as Minimum Capacity.
