Glossary Term: Output Usable
Has the meaning given to that term in the Grid Code.
The Grid Code currently states:
“The forecast value (in MW), profiled across the time period affected by the unplanned or planned Event of the level at which the Genset can export to the Grid Entry Point, or in the case of Embedded Power Stations, to the User System Entry Point.
In addition, for a Genset powered by an Intermittent Power Source the forecast value is based upon the Intermittent Power Source being at a level which would enable the Genset to generate at Registered Capacity. For the purpose of OC2 only, the term Output Usable shall include the terms Interconnector Export Capacity and Interconnector Import Capacity where the term Output Usable is being applied to an External Interconnection.”
Please note that the above explanation may change and is held within the Grid Code documents.
