About this factor

Applicability

Denominator is fuel energy on a NET calorific value basis, stored per kWh of fuel input - not per kWh of electricity generated. The loaded factor is the EFFECTIVE one - the stoichiometric factor times the oxidation coefficient - and both source columns ride in source_record.
