Table 1 Key figures of the EFDM as used by the optimization model
From: Optimal industrial flexibility scheduling based on generic data format
Key | Value (type) | Description |
|---|---|---|
Validity | Integer \(\ge 0\) | The interval where using the flexible load is allowed for flexibility purposes |
Power states | Continuous \(\ge 0\) | The deviation offlexible load from the normal operating point. The deviation ispositive in the load increase type,and it is negative in the loaddecrease type |
Holding duration | Integer \(\ge 0\) | The time length that flexible loads operate per usage |
Usage numbers | Integer \(\ge 0\) | The allowed number of usages in the optimization period |
Modulation number | Integer \(\ge 0\) | The number of permitted changes in the power state value per usage (without counting the power state change related to activation and deactivation) |
Activation gradient | Continuous \(\ge 0\) | The power change rate during the activation |
Deactivation gradient | Continuous \(\ge 0\) | The power change rate during the deactivation |
Regeneration duration | Integer \(\ge 0\) | The time limitation to activate a load after deactivation |
Costs | Continuous \(\ge 0\) | The cost of using flexible load, excluding the electric costs |
