The calculation of WEFORd is as follows:
| Weighted Equivalent Forced Outage Rate demand - WEFORd | |
|---|---|
| WEFORd = |
x 100% |
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.
