The type of fossil fuel, such as coal, oil, or gas.

fuelCost

CostPerHeatUnit

The cost in terms of heat value for the given type of fuel.

fuelDispatchCost

0..1

CostPerHeatUnit

The cost of fuel used for economic dispatching which includes: fuel cost, transportation cost, and incremental maintenance cost.

fuelEffFactor

0..1

PU

The efficiency factor for the fuel (per unit) in terms of the effective energy absorbed.

fuelHandlingCost

CostPerHeatUnit

Handling and processing cost associated with this fuel.

fuelHeatContent

float

The amount of heat per weight (or volume) of the given type of fuel.

fuelMixture

PerCent

Relative amount of the given type of fuel, when multiple fuels are being consumed.

fuelSulfur

0..1

PU

The fuel's fraction of pollution credit per unit of heat content.

highBreakpointP

0..1

ActivePower

The active power output level of the unit at which the given type of fuel is switched on. This fuel (e.g., oil) is sometimes used to supplement the base fuel (e.g., coal) at high active power output levels.

lowBreakpointP

0..1

ActivePower

The active power output level of the unit at which the given type of fuel is switched off. This fuel (e.g., oil) is sometimes used to stabilize the base fuel (e.g., coal) at low active power output levels.

FuelAllocationSchedule

A fuel allocation schedule shall have a fossil fuel.

PropertiesCIMDataObject

0..1

ChangeSetMember

The single CIM data object in the appropriate dataset context.

aliasName

0..1

string

The aliasName is free text human readable name of the object alternative to IdentifiedObject.name. It may be non unique and may not correlate to a naming hierarchy. The attribute aliasName is retained because of backwards compatibility between CIM relases. It is however recommended to replace aliasName with the Name class as aliasName is planned for retirement at a future time.

description

0..1

string

The description is a free human readable text describing or naming the object. It may be non unique and may not correlate to a naming hierarchy.

mRID

0..1

string

Master resource identifier issued by a model authority. The mRID is unique within an exchange context. Global uniqueness is easily achieved by using a UUID, as specified in RFC 4122, for the mRID. The use of UUID is strongly recommended. For CIMXML data files in RDF syntax conforming to IEC 61970-552, the mRID is mapped to rdf:ID or rdf:about attributes that identify CIM object elements.

name

0..1

string

The name is any free human readable and possibly non unique text naming the object.
