Transmission Load Includes Losses
Units: | Yes/No |
Default Value: | False (0) |
Validation Rule: | False (0) or True (-1) |
Description: | If the demand forecast includes transmission losses. |
Detail: |
Transmission Load Includes Losses indicates if the input load includes transmission losses. It can take the following values:
- False (value = 0)
- The input loads do not include transmission losses. Any transmission losses modelled with be added to the load i.e. the total generation in the system will equal the input load plus transmission losses.
- True (value = -1)
- The input loads have transmission losses embedded in them, and these must be removed so that the total generation in system is equal to the input load.
Refer to the article Loss Modelling for details of how these embedded losses are handled.
