Act_Reserve_Margin Column
Units = Percent
The pool reserve margin at the time of the peak demand, where
Reserve Margin = (Capacity + Firm Imports – Firm Exports) / (Peak Demand) – 1.
The values for capacity, firm imports and firm exports reflect those that were in effect during the peak demand hour for the appropriate period. Capacity values also reflect any adjustments via the Peak Credit input.
NOTE: This column will only be populated for the PoolYear and PoolMonth output tables.
NOTE: If a study is run only for a partial year, the values in the yearly output table will correspond to the maximum demand value for only that portion of the year.
NOTE: This column is not valid during an energy only LT study with iterative reporting turned on.
