| Description: | Proportion of battery charge and discharge at the node |
Battery Nodes Distribution Factor is the proportion of battery charge and discharge at the node. This property enables the charging and discharging of a battery to be split across multiple nodes. The charging and discharging of a battery is proportioned symmetrically. For example, a distribution factor of 0.5 at a node implies that half of the charging and half of the discharging absorbs/injects through that node. Distribution factor can be used to model a battery object which connects to multiple different locations.
All distribution factors for a battery object should sum to 1 to reflect the conservation of energy.
Example:
| Battery | Node | Property | Value | Units |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Batt1 | A220kV | Distribution Factor | 0.9 | - |
| Batt1 | A110kV | Distribution Factor | 0.1 | - |
