| minimumOperatingLimit | ActivePower | This is the minimum operating MW limit the dispatcher can enter for this unit. |
| minLoadCost | CostRate | minimum load cost. Value is (currency/hr) |
| mustOfferRA | YesNo | Flag to indicate that this unit is a resource adequacy resource and must offer. |
| nameplateCapacity | ActivePower | MW value stated on the nameplate of the Generator – the value it potentially could provide. |
| operatingMaintenanceCost | CostPerEnergyUnit | The portion of the Operating Cost of a Generating Resource that is not related to fuel cost. |
| pumpingCost | CostRate | |
| pumpingFactor | Float | Pumping factor for pump storage units, conversion factor between generating and pumping. |
| pumpMinDownTime | Float | The minimum down time for the pump in a pump storage unit. |
| pumpMinUpTime | Float | The minimum up time aspect for the pump in a pump storage unit |
| pumpShutdownCost | Float | The cost to shutdown a pump during the pump aspect of a pump storage unit. |
| pumpShutdownTime | Integer | The shutdown time (minutes) of the pump aspect of a pump storage unit. |
| quickStartFlag | YesNo | Quick start flag (Yes/No). Identifies the registered generator as a quick start unit. A quick start unit is a unit that has the ability to be available for load within a 30 minute period. |
| rampCurveType | RampCurveType | Ramp curve type. Identifies the type of curve which may be a fixed, static or dynamic. |
| regulationDownRampRate | ActivePowerChangeRate | Regulation down response rate in MW per minute |
| regulationFlag | UnitRegulationKind | Specifies if the unit is regulating or not regulating or expected to be regulating but is not. |
| regulationUpRampRate | ActivePowerChangeRate | Regulation up response rate in MW per minute. |
| resourceSubType | String | Unit sub type used by Settlements or scheduling application. Application use of the unit sub type may define the necessary types as applicable. |
| riverSystem | String | River System the Resource is tied to. |
| RMNRFlag | YesNo | Reliability must not run (RMNR) flag: indicated whether the RMR unit is set as an RMNR in the current market |

| N' - not an RMR unit | ||
| ‘1’ - RMR Condition 1 unit | ||
| ‘2’ - RMR Condition 2 unit | ||
| RMRManualIndicator | YesNo | Indicates the RMR Manual pre-determination status [Y/N] |
