Generator Outage Factor sets the Outage Rating of each unit during the associated Forced or Maintenance outage as a proportion of the Max Capacity.

Table 1: Outage Factor Example
Property Value Units
Units 1 -
Max Capacity 200 MW
Rating 100 MW
Outage Factor 90 %


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

Note that Outage Factor overrides Outage Rating if both are defined.
