Determining Shift Factors and Incremental System Losses Sample Clauses

The "Determining Shift Factors and Incremental System Losses" clause establishes the method for calculating how changes in electricity generation or consumption at specific locations affect power flows and system losses across the grid. In practice, this involves using mathematical models or formulas to assign shift factors to different nodes, which quantify the impact of a transaction on transmission lines, and to estimate the additional energy lost due to these changes. By clearly defining these calculations, the clause ensures accurate allocation of transmission costs and losses, promoting fairness and operational efficiency in the management of the electrical system.
Determining Shift Factors and Incremental System Losses. For the purposes of pricing and scheduling, Shift Factors, GFik, and loss delivery factors, DFi, will reflect expected power flows, including expected unscheduled power flows. When determining prices and schedules, SCUC, RTC and RTD shall include both the expected power flows resulting from NYISO interchange schedules (see Section 17.1.1.1.2), and expected unscheduled power flows (see Section 17.1.1.1. 1). All NYCA Resource, NYCA Load and Proxy Generator Bus Shift Factors and loss delivery factors will incorporate internal and coordinated external transmission facility outages, power flows due to schedules, and expected unscheduled power flows.
