Facility Outage Factor

Units:	%
Mode:	Input Only
Multi-band:	True
Default Value:	100
Validation Rule:	Between 0 And 100
Key Property:	No
Description:	Unit outage rating based on the unit capacity

Facility Outage sets the Outage Operating Level of each unit during the associated Forced or Maintenance outage as a proportion of the Max Operating Level. The default value is zero means that the outage is total. To specify a partial outage use a value greater than zero and less than 100. See the Units Out topic for examples.

Table 1: Outage Factor Example

Property	Value	Units
Units	1	-
Max Capacity	200	-
Outage Factor	90	%

In this example the outage factor is 90%, and so the implied Outage Operating Level is 10 i.e. (1 - Outage Factor) x Max Operating Level.

Note that Outage Factor overrides Outage Operating Level if both are defined.
