Generic Fossil

The generic system model is a basic representation of a conventional fossil-fuel power plant. The Generic technology option makes it possible to compare analyses of photovoltaic and concentrating power systems to a base case conventional fossil fuel plant in the residential, commercial and central generation markets.

This section describes the system input pages that are available when the technology option in the Technology and Market window is Generic Fossil System.  For a description of the type of system the generic fossil model can represent, see About the Solar Advisor Model.
