Generator Ramp Down

Units:MW
Mode:Output Only
Multi-band:False
Default Value:
Validation Rule:
Key Property:No
Description:Total ramping down

Generator Ramp Down is the total ramping down in the period, and is defined as:

Ramp Down = MAX (0, Generation(t-1) - Generationt )

where:
t indexes periods of the simulation.
The t=0 value of Generation refers to the previous simulation step and for step one it is set with the Initial Generation property.

This is distinct from Ramp which reports the ramping rate in megawatts per minute.Ramp Down can be used in combination with Minutes of Ramp Down to determine the intensity of ramping down over any period.
