NodalACTransportTechnology

Package: PowerInvestmentsOpenAPIModels · Source: Investments/Technologies/NodalACTransportTechnology.json

Nodal representation of candidate AC transmission lines between two regions. Alongside capacity limits and a capital cost curve it carries the electrical characteristics of the line — resistance, series reactance, and voltage rating — and is added in discrete units of unit_size.
