| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the reason for Shift Factors, Participation Factors and Distribution Factors? | it is an expected percentage change of power flow on a transmission line. The concept is to apply the distribution factor to predict or change transmission loading. |
| Generator Shift Factor (GSF) | is percentage change of loading on a line due to generation. Use to determine redispatch amounts |
| Power Transfer Distribution Factors (PTDF) | Percentage of change of electrical loading on a line due to power transfer (interchange) between areas. Used to determine interchange curtailment when tie-lines are overloaded in the Transmission Loading Relief (TLR) process. |
| Outage Transfer Distribution Factors (OTDF) | is percentage of change of electrical loading on a line due to electrical power transfer (interchange) from one area to another while considering outages. |
| Line Outage Distribution Factor (LODF) | is the percentage of power flow on a line that is redistributed to another line as a result of that line’s outage. Used in Contingency Analysis, what will Line X be if Line Y trips |
