Distribution Loss Factors (DLF) by connection point

Description

Returns the Distribution Loss Factor for NEM connection points from the MMSDM LOSSFACTORMODEL table. DLFs measure the average energy loss on the distribution network between a connection point and the transmission network boundary; a DLF of 1.02 means the generator must produce 2% more energy than it delivers to the transmission system.

Usage

aemo_dlf(year = NULL, connection_point_id = NULL)

Arguments

year	Financial year(s) as "YYYY-YY". NULL returns all available years.
connection_point_id	Optional character vector of connection point IDs.

Details

DLFs are published annually by AEMO (NER 3.6.3) and combined with MLFs in settlement to give the total loss factor (TLF = MLF x DLF) used in energy payments.

Value

An aemo_tbl with at minimum financial_year, connectionpointid, and dlf.
