Generators

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:

1. A 'Common Generation Data Area' which is identical for all generator types
2. An area containing type specific data
