Nuclear too flexible? #140

Open GordStephen opened 2 years ago

GordStephen commented 2 years ago

The nuclear unit ramp rate is given as 20 MW/min, about 5x higher than the comparably-sized gas CCs and coal units. Is that intentional?

claytonpbarrows commented 2 years ago

not really, but the pmin is 396MW and pmax is 400, so while it may have really relaxed ramp rates, it can't go very far.

However, I would be happy to tighten them to something more realistic.
