The pool reserve margin at the time of the sampled 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: Data in output columns starting with Smp_ corresponds to only the set of sampled hours for the relevant time period and condition, as specified in the Study Period area of Project Setup and the Conditions table, respectively.
