Losses Column
Column Type = Single
The Losses column contains the fraction of losses in energy for transmission from the area being dispatched to the area being served.
Areas are generally consolidated into zones using the Zone Definition table. This process often consolidates links between individual areas in one zone and individual areas in another zone. For these consolidated links between zones, the Losses and Wheeling calculations split the difference between simple average (a good representation if all lines are loaded at the capacity of the smallest link) and a weighted average (a good representation if all lines are loaded at their maximums).
NOTE: Losses must be included if the Wheeling column is in this table.
NOTE: Specify inputs for any time period (annually, monthly, weekly, hourly, or sub-hourly). For information on specifying a variable's time series, see Entering a Time Series.
