| Description: | Fuel price (when not using Fuels collection) |
Generator Fuel Price when used as an input is the fuel price for the generator.
Example
| Generator | Property | Value | Units |
|---|---|---|---|
| BOB | Fuel Price | 3 | $/GJ |
| BOB | Heat Rate | 10 | GJ/MWh |
Here the generator has a fixed heat rate of 10 and fuel price of 3, hence its marginal (and average) cost per megawatt hour is 10 x 3 = $30/MWh.
More commonly though generators are associated with one or more Fuel objects and Price is taken from the Fuels collection.
The fuel price passed on to a generator is defined as:
Fuel Price = Fuel Total Price / Heat Value + Transport ChargeAs an output Fuel Price is the volume-weighted price paid for the fuel and defined as:
Fuel Price = Fuel Cost / Fuel OfftakeSee also:
