2. Conceptually, T&D are losses between production site (power plant) and end-user (consumer) correct? This would be most applicable in electricity transmissions, pipelines, ... but not for wood fuels, charcoal. Conceptually correct?

1. The option to check on/off "Simple non-dispatched module...", found in the properties of a Transformation module, cannot be changed once the module is created. This means that in order to change a module type from a simple to a non-simple (dispatched) module (or vice versa), you will need to recreate the module.
2. You're right to say that T&D (Transmission and Distribution) losses, as LEAP sees them, are losses incurred between a producer and consumer. This usually means that this Transformation module appears at the very top of your Transformation branches. Though users often represent gas leakage, electricity losses (etc) in a T&D module, you may include losses of any fuel type you wish. These losses may include average biofuel losses to and from market, non-technical losses (i.e. theft), or wasted primary biofuel products leftover after a harvest - anything you wish to represent in your model.
Hope this helps,
Taylor
