| Description: | Total auxiliary load (fixed, base and incr) |
Battery Auxiliary Consumption is the sum of all station auxiliary loads:
Auxiliary Consumption = Aux Fixed + Aux Base × (Units Generating + Units Charging) + Aux Incr × Generation + (1 / (1 - Aux Incr) - 1) × Load
The auxiliary use is set by the inputs Aux Incr, Aux Base, and Aux Fixed. These can be used in any combination.
How auxiliary loads affect the load and hence the dispatch is controlled by the setting Region Load Metering Point. By default auxiliary loads are assumed to be captured in the input load and thus are only calculated after the dispatch.
