Reference / Transmission and other losses
Model option
Flat fractions
Two flat fractions of the exported power after the HV line
Inputs used: Fixed transmission loss, Other AC loss, Model the transmission and other losses
Method
On every timestep with export and a positive power after the HV line, the fixed transmission loss takes its fraction of that power. The other AC loss then takes its fraction of what remains. On timesteps without export both are zero, so neither acts on the night consumption. The two losses have their own rows: Fixed transmission loss and AC other loss.
The math
- Fixed transmission loss
- Other AC loss
