Generating unit modeling data is required to perform a detailed analysis of economic upgrades.  Stakeholders are asked to review the data inputs for their generating units.  Specific data types will be derived from publicly available inputs provided by the vendors.

These GRID-ASSET data types include: Variable O&M, Variable O&M Escalation, Fixed O&M, Fixed O&M Escalation, Energy Bid Cost, Energy Bid Markup, Spinning Reserve Bid, Spinning Reserve Bid Escalation, Heat Rate, Startup Cost Adder, and Startup Cost Adder Escalation.  These specific inputs use publicly available data to ensure that the model will not contain sensitive data.

In our approach, the Stakeholders will get to review and provide updated values (if necessary) for their assets in your infrastructure.  These data sets include asset types characteristics but are not limited to: Maximum MW Output, Minimum MW Output, Must-Run status, Minimum Up Time, Minimum Down Time, Ramp Rate, Forced Outage Rate, Forced Outage Duration, Maintenance Hours Requirement, Minimum Runtime, Startup Energy Requirement, Fuel Type, and Emission Rates.  For the resource planning phase of this study, stakeholders will be asked to review and update a smaller set of input data.
