Common use of Calculation of MW Clause in Contracts

Calculation of MW. Miles The change in real power flow (MW) over each transmission line and transformer shall be determined for each combination of supply and receipt areas by determining the absolute value of the difference between the flows on each facility following a scaled increase of the supplying areas generation by 100 MW. Loads in the area of receipt shall be scaled to account for changes in generation and electrical losses. In instances where the areas of supply and/or receipt are outside the NEPOOL Control Area, the changes in real power flow will be determined only for facilities within the NEPOOL Control Area. The changes in flow shall then be multiplied by the length of each respective line. Changes in flow through transformers shall be multiplied by a factor of five. Changes in flow through phase-shifting transformers shall be multiplied by a factor of ten. The resulting values represent the MW-miles associated with each facility.
