| Description: | Value of lost load (VoLL) |
Region VoLL is the value of lost load or shortage cost when the system has Unserved Energy, which occurs when the Load exceeds the Generation.
Example
| Region | Property | Value | Units | Date From |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PG&E | VoLL | 190 | $/MWh | |
| PG&E | VoLL | 240 | $/MWh | 1/01/2003 |
Note that in order to prevent unserved energy being chosen as an economic option ahead of generation the simulator uses a different value of VoLL internally. This is controlled by the Transmission Internal VoLL property.
