Production Heat Rate (Efficiency Function) Detail

Units:	-
Default Value:	0
Validation Rule:	In (0,1,2)
Description:	Level of detail for Generator heat rate modelling

Production Heat Rate aka Efficiency Function Detail can take the following values:

Note that Heat Rate Detail is defined on both Phase object and here. Heat Rate Detail that is on Phase object overrides Production object settings unless phase's dropdown on Production tab has Production object explicitly selected.

Detailed (value = 0)

Generator heat rates are modelled according to their definitions, with level of detail controlled by the Generator Max Heat Rate Tranches setting.

Simple (value = 1)

Generator heat rates are simplified to a no-load cost plus single band of marginal heat rate at Generator Max Capacity.

Simplest (value = 2)

Generator heat rates are approximation by the average heat rate at Generator Max Capacity.
