#' @title Duty Factor for 6.6/11kV and 20kV Transformers
#' @description This function calculates the duty factor for 6.6/11kV and 20kV
#' transformers depending on the maximum percentage utilisation under normal
#' operating conditions.
#' The duty factor is used in the deriviation of the expected life of an asset.
#' See e.g. \code{\link{expected_life}()}. For more general information about
#' the derivation of the duty factor see section 6.6 on page 51 in CNAIM (2021)
#' @param utilisation_pct Numeric. The max percentage of utilisation
#' under normal operating conditions.
#' @return Numeric. Duty factor for 6.6/11kV or 20kV transformer.
