Class NuclearGeneratingUnit

Initialises a new 'NuclearGeneratingUnit' instance.

Parameters:

• maxOperatingP - This is the maximum operating active power limit the dispatcher can enter for this unit
• ratedGrossMaxP - The unit's gross rated maximum capacity (Book Value).
• variableCost - The variable cost component of production per unit of ActivePower.
• minOperatingP - This is the minimum operating active power limit the dispatcher can enter for this unit.
• ratedGrossMinP - The gross rated minimum generation level which the unit can safely operate at while delivering power to the transmission grid
• shortPF - Generating unit economic participation factor
• ratedNetMaxP - The net rated maximum capacity determined by subtracting the auxiliary power used to operate the internal plant machinery from the rated gross maximum capacity
• longPF - Generating unit economic participation factor
• startupCost - The initial startup cost incurred for each start of the GeneratingUnit.
• genControlSource - The source of controls for a generating unit. Values are: "onAGC", "unavailable", "plantControl", "offAGC"
• nominalP - The nominal power of the generating unit. Used to give precise meaning to percentage based attributes such as the govenor speed change droop (govenorSCD attribute).Should not be null or zero.
• governorSCD - Governor Speed Changer Droop. This is the change in generator power output divided by the change in frequency normalized by the nominal power of the generator and the nominal frequency and expressed in percent and negated. A positive value of speed change droop provides additional generator output upon a drop in frequency.
• maximumAllowableSpinningReserve - Maximum allowable spinning reserve. Spinning reserve will never be considered greater than this value regardless of the current operating point.
• initialP - Default Initial active power which is used to store a powerflow result for the initial active power for this unit in this network configuration
• normalPF - Generating unit economic participation factor
• SynchronousMachines - A synchronous machine may operate as a generator and as such becomes a member of a generating unit
• ControlAreaGeneratingUnit - ControlArea specifications for this generating unit.
