I am comparing my utility planning practices with prevailing practices. With that in mind I have some questions I would greatly appreciate your responce on.
The definition of Utilization Factor (UF) we use/go by is: UF is the ratio of the maximum demand of a system to the rated capacity of the system. In other words, the UF indicates the degree to which a system is being loaded during a system peak with respect to capacity.
1. Are you measuring a UF?
2. Where and how are you measuring UF?
(e.g. gate stations, district regulators etc.)
3. Does your UF calcutations figure into a Cold Weather action plan?
4. Do you have a UF target and what is your justification for that target?
5. How do you use the UF information for infrastructure planning?
Thank you very much for your help.
