| Description: | Load drawn by a unit in pumping mode |
Generator Pump Load applies to pumped storage generators and as an input property is the maximum megawatt load drawn per unit while in pump mode. As output Pump Load is the total station load from all units that are in pump mode. Along with Pump Efficiency and connection to a Head Storage this property designates a Generator as a pumped storage generator.
Example:
| Property | Value | Units |
|---|---|---|
| Units | 1 | - |
| Max Capacity | 250 | MW |
| Pump Efficiency | 70 | % |
| Pump Load | 240 | MW |
You can define a minimum load level while pumping using the property Min Pump Load.
