PTDF definition

PTDF means a measure of the responsiveness or change in electrical loadings on Transmission Facilities due to a change in electric power transfer from one area to another, expressed in percent (up to 100%) of the change in power transfer in the pre-contingency configuration of a system under study.

Examples of PTDF in a sentence

• For NYISO, the PTDF will equal the generator shift factor of the common scheduling point.

• For NYISO, the PTDF will equal the generator shift factor of the non-common scheduling point.

• This could for example be done by taking the mathematical parameters in the flow-based approach (PTDF matrices and RAMs for each CNE), and prove that it will not give a different result than CNTC, when there are no internal CNEs included and all the cross-zonal CNEs are radial.

• RAM Remaining Available Margin, i.e. right-hand side factor associated to a PTDF constraint.

PTDF means a power transfer distribution factor which describes the impact of a bidding- zone net position or of a commercial exchange between two bidding-zones on a CNEC, as computed in the implemented CCM. In case the implemented CCM does not define how to compute PTDFs, these factors should be computed pursuant to Article 11 of the Core DA CCM.
