Ed, do you do some kind of simple "cost to start up vs saving" swag when deciding whether to do this?
Yes. We are measuring to determine the break even points that work best for us and hope they extrapolate to our customers. During ESP, we might ask for customer assistance to help optimize these values for bigger "iron" than what we own.
The results we have so far are amazing! For example, time to do "Expensive Work X" reduced by 64% by splitting (using educated "guesstimation") the work up across three dispatchable units, including overhead of startup/takedown of the two additional SRBs.
