Line Loss Allocation

Units:	-

Multi-band:	False
Default Value:	0.5
Validation Rule:	Between 0 And 1
Key Property:	No
Description:	Proportion of line losses allocated to the receiving node

Line Loss Allocation determines how much of the loss on the line is assigned to the receiving node (in the lines reference direction).

Example:

Line	Property	Value	Units
1-2	Loss Allocation	1	-
1-3	Loss Allocation	0.9	-

In this example bus "1" is allocated none of the losses on line "1-2", and 10% of the losses on line "1-3".

           NOTE: Allocation of losses to nodes only applies to the Variable Shift Factor OPF: see OPF Method.
