The generators are entered individually into EMarket. There are three different types of generators;
- Generic (these are thermal, geothermal and wind)
- Hydro Station (simple one storage, one inflow type)
- Hydro System (complex multi station/reservoir hydro generators)
Many of the generator types have elements in common such as Name, Version, Node.
The Generator Window has the following components:
- A 'Common Generation Data Area' which is identical for all generator types
- An area containing type specific data
Common Generator Data Area
| Name | Used to reference the generator in Schedules, Formulae and Output Data |
| Version | The Version name for this Generator Resource Instance |
| Description | Free text field for information about the Generator |
| Gen Class | Generator type (Generic, Hydro Station or Hydro System) When changing this input a prompt window is displayed, as this may result in some of the information previously entered for the resource being lost. |
| Node | The Node where the Generator injects power into the Grid. |
| Comm Date | Commissioning Date - the first date upon which the Generator could submit Offers. This field allows you to model a Generator as coming on stream at a particular time in the future. |
| Moth Date | "Mothball" date - the last date upon which the generator can submit Offers. this date should be set well into the future for generators which are likely to run indefinitely. |
| Gen Type | Type of Generator, e.g. Steam Turbine |
| Fuel Type | Fuel used by Generator, e.g. Coal |
| Efficiency % | Describes the efficiency of the Generator. (Not used by EMarket but can be accessed to calculate fuel burn based on Generation Output. |
| Non Fuel M.C. ($/MWh) | This figure is used to calculate operating costs for Hydro Generators. |
| Max Output (MW) | The maximum output of the station. |
| Unit Size (MW) | The capacity of component units in MW. This is used when calculating Reserve risk and Reserve dispatch. You should enter a unit size of zero if the Generator will not be modelled as a Reserve risk. The Unit Size (MW) setting and the output of a Generator at any given Tick determines the risk set by the Generator. |
