Fixed Non-commit penalty
This option allows the user to specify the penalty or increment (input as a percent) to be applied to the dispatch cost of a commitment type unit when it has not committed for operation.
This option applies only to those units with an nonzero value in the Non Cycling column of the Resources Table.
By default, this option is set to 2900 percent (a 30 times penalty) so that commitment units will be seen as too expensive to operate if not originally committed.
NOTE: The Use Econ Non-commitment Penalty option must NOT be selected for the fixed non-commit penalty to be applied to resources using unit commitment. The fixed non-commit penalty is always used for pool commitment resources.
