Fuel Prices in $/MMBTU or other unit

Where can I find the different fuel prices that are used in SAInt?

Hi @jimhSAIntencoord,

The fuel prices, along with any other properties, can be found by checking the relevant FUEL object. For instance, in the ENET39, there are three such objects, FUEL.URANIUM, FUEL.NATURAL_GAS, and FUEL.COAL. Each of these are attached to multiple fuel generators (FGENS), depending on the type of fuel the generators consume; i.e., FGEN.MILLSTONE is a nuclear generator, which draws from FUEL.URANIUM.

The FUEL object has event properties and this is where the fuel price (FuelPrice) can be found. This can be changed during a scenario with an event to model price fluctuations! After the scenario is executed, you can observe the rates of consumption of FUEL objects, which will be a result of the related FGEN generation and heat rate.

Happy modeling!
