Common use of Determination of Regional Flows Clause in Contracts

Determination of Regional Flows. The change in real power flow (MW) over each transmission line and transformer shall be determined for each generator (or group of generators on a single bus) by determining the absolute value of the difference between the flows on each facility with the generator(s) modeled off and while operating at its net Winter Capability. In addition, a generator shall be simulated at each transmission line tie to the NEPOOL Control Area and changes in flow determined for this generator off or while generating at a level of 100 MW. Loads throughout the NEPOOL Control Area shall be proportionally scaled to account for differences in generator output and electrical losses. The changes in flow shall 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.
