The calculation of WEFORd is as follows:
Weighted Equivalent Forced Outage Rate demand - WEFORd | |
---|---|
WEFORd = [(FOHd + EFDHd) x NMC] | x 100% |
[(SH + FOHd) x NMC] |
where
FOHd = f x FOH |
EFDHd = (EFDH - EFDHRS) if reserve shutdown events reported, or |
= (fp x EFDH) if no reserve shutdown events reported - an approximation. |
fp = (SH/AH) |
r=Average Forced outage deration=(FOH)/(# of FO occurrences)
D=Average demand time=(SH)/(# of unite actual starts)
T=Average reserve shutdown time=(RSH)/(# of unite attempted starts)
See NERC GADS Appendix F for a definition of each parameter. The Hawaiian Electric Companies follow the methodology described in Note 1, Method (II) of Appendix F.
