Startup
This category depends on selecting the Unit Power Table method (see
Unit Power Table) and describes how the monetary cost associated with starting up or shutting down a unit (turbine) will be modeled.
The methods in this category are as follows:
• One that does not model these costs, effectively assigning them a value of 0.
• One that uses a table describing the combined costs for starting up and shutting down a unit.
None
This is the default, no action method.
Unit Lumped Cost
For each unit, this method lumps the cost of startup and shutdown into one value.
See
Unit-level Constraints for descriptions of additional constraints.
