Physics:Gross generation
From HandWiki
Gross generation or gross electric output is the total amount of electricity generated by a power plant over a specific period of time.[1] It is measured at the generating terminal and is measured in kilowatt-hours (kW·h), megawatt-hours (MW·h),[2] gigawatt-hours (GW·h) or for the largest power plants terawatt-hours (TW·h). It includes the electricity used in the plant auxiliaries and in the transformers.[3]
- Gross generation = net generation + usage within the plant (also known as in-house loads)
