Loss_Sensitivity Column
The change in system losses with respect to a change in net injection at the bus.
Specifically, look to the following formula:
where LSi is the loss sensitivity, L represents system losses, and NI represents net injection.
The loss sensitivity will be positive for buses which increase system losses by injecting power into the grid and negative for buses which decrease system losses by injecting power into the grid.
The penalty factor at bus i is related to the loss sensitivity as follows:
So, positive loss sensitivity implies a penalty factor that is greater than 1 and negative loss sensitivity implies a penalty factor that is less than 1. Penalty factors should always be positive numbers and ideally should not be significantly greater than 1.
