Dear Mr. Binnington

I have generated reference scenario results for power generation but where should i get the actual power dispatched after deducting line losses. In my case it should be showing some unmet demand if 19% line losses are taken in to account but now it gives surplus.

Thank you
Hanan

Hi Hanan,

I've addressed your post in two parts:

>>I have generated reference scenario results for power generation but where should i get the actual power dispatched after deducting line losses.

Since you are looking at Unmet Requirements, I'll guess that you are in fact interested in knowing the energy output (in kWh) rather the the power dispatched (in kW). Is that assumption correct? If not, please let me know.

To view electricity outputs after transmission and distribution (T&D) line losses, in the Results view click on your T&D module with your mouse and select "Transformation: Outputs by Output Fuel" from the result selection box. For comparison, you can also view the quantity of electricity before T&D line losses by selecting "Transformation: Inputs". This second result tells you how much electricity is flowing into the lines before losses are deducted. Your electricity generation module, which should appear below your T&D module, then attempts to meet these input requirements.

>>In my case it should be showing some unmet demand if 19% line losses are taken in to account but now it gives surplus.

For which module are you looking at Transformation: Unmet Requirements? Note that this result is calculated for each module separately. Although you may observe unmet requirements for one module, it is possible that these requirements may be met by a different module lower down the tree. More info on LEAP calculations are shown in this link:

Hope this helps,
