Generator Information: OPF

Concept Link IconSee Also

 

The fields on this tab display information regarding the generator’s participation in an OPF load flow solution.

 

OPF MW Control

The type of control the generator is allowed during an OPF solution. The generator can be set to No control during OPF, control only if its AGC property is set to Yes, or to always be controlled by the OPF regardless of the AGC status of the generator.

Fast Start Generator

The generator is being treated as a fast start generator during the OPF solution.

Generator MW limits

The MW limits of a generator can be altered in this location if you wish for the generator to use different limits than originally assigned in the load flow case, without actually changing the original values. Simply change the Current Min MW Limit and Current Max MW Limit to alter the limits observed by the generator during and OPF solution.

MW Marginal Cost for Generator’s Bus

The OPF solved marginal cost at the generator’s terminal bus.

Initial, Final and Delta MW Output

The MW output information for the generator resulting from the OPF run.

Initial, Final and Delta Hourly Cost

The hourly cost information for the generator resulting from the OPF run.

OPF Results
