PowerSystems.RenewableNonDispatch — Type
mutable struct RenewableNonDispatch <: RenewableGen
    name::String
    available::Bool
    bus::ACBus
    active_power::Float64
    reactive_power::Float64
    rating::Float64
    prime_mover_type::PrimeMovers
    power_factor::Float64
    base_power::Float64

    ext::Dict{String, Any}
    internal::InfrastructureSystemsInternal
end

A non-dispatchable (i.e., non-curtailable or must-take) renewable generator.

Its output is equal to its max_active_power time series by default. Example use: an aggregation of behind-the-meter distributed energy resources like rooftop solar. For curtailable or downward dispatachable generation, see RenewableDispatch.

Renewable generators do not have a max_active_power parameter, which is instead calculated when calling get_max_active_power()

Arguments

  • name::String: Name of the component. Components of the same type (e.g., PowerLoad) must have unique names, but components of different types (e.g., PowerLoad and ACBus) can have the same name
  • available::Bool: Indicator of whether the component is connected and online (true) or disconnected, offline, or down (false). Unavailable components are excluded during simulations
  • bus::ACBus: Bus that this component is connected to
  • active_power::Float64: Initial active power set point of the unit in MW. For power flow, this is the steady state operating point of the system. For production cost modeling, this may or may not be used as the initial starting point for the solver, depending on the solver used
  • reactive_power::Float64: Initial reactive power set point of the unit (MVAR), used in some production cost modeling simulations. To set the reactive power in a load flow, use power_factor
  • rating::Float64: Maximum output power rating of the unit (MVA), validation range: (0, nothing)
  • prime_mover_type::PrimeMovers: Prime mover technology according to EIA 923. Options are listed here
  • power_factor::Float64: Power factor [0, 1] set-point, used in some production cost modeling and in load flow if the unit is connected to a PQ bus, validation range: (0, 1)
  • base_power::Float64: Base power of the unit (MVA) for per unitization, validation range: (0, nothing)
  • services::Vector{Service}: (default: Device[]) Services that this device contributes to
  • dynamic_injector::Union{Nothing, DynamicInjection}: (default: nothing) corresponding dynamic injection device
  • ext::Dict{String, Any}: (default: Dict{String, Any}()) An extra dictionary for users to add metadata that are not used in simulation.
  • internal::InfrastructureSystemsInternal: (Do not modify.) PowerSystems.jl internal reference
