The RAMP_10 and RAMP_30 columns of the gen matrix are used to define the
physical ramping capability of the generator. RAMP_10 limits the difference
between base and contingency dispatches (or the amount of reserves a unit can
supply when using a fixed zonal reserve requirement). RAMP_30 limits the
ramping between periods in the unit commitment or multiperiod dispatch problem.
The values of PositiveLoadFollowReserveQuantity and
NegativeActiveReserveQuantity can be used to further restrict the ramping of
the unit, if desired, to something smaller than its physical capabilities.In
the example in 7.2.2 setting it to 250 does not actually “remove” the
constraint, it simply makes it large enough that it is no longer binding. I
suppose it would have been more obvious if I’d set it to something greater than
or equal to the full capacity of the unit, like 600 MW or something.
Hope this helps,
Ray
