| Description: | Detailed regime for running the unit down from [Min Stable Level] when [Run Down Rate] is non-constant. |
Generator Shutdown Profile defines a series of megawatt steps that the generating units pass through while running down from Min Stable Level to zero. Note that if this running down rate is constant you should use the Run Down Rate property instead.
The input scheme for this property is a special case, where the Timeslice field is used to identify the stages of the shutdown.
When defining generator offers in conjunction with shutdown profile, it is crucial to ensure compatibility between the Offer Base and the discrete generation levels specified in the shutdown profile. Incompatibilities in these definitions may lead to infeasibilities. Therefore, meticulous attention is required when configuring offers and shutdown profile to avoid such issues.
Example:
| Property | Value | Units | Band | Timeslice |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Units | 1 | - | 1 | |
| Max Capacity | 100 | MW | 1 | |
| Min Stable Level | 40 | MW | 1 | |
| Shutdown Cost | 1000 | $ | 1 | |
| Shutdown Profile | 20 | MW | 1 | H01 |
| Shutdown Profile | 5 | MW | 1 | H02 |
