Generator Information: OPF
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
This section shows the results of OPF for the generator.
