B-factor Calculation

On this sheet, users can calculate their B-factor using either equation A.5 or A.7 from IEC TS 60076-20. Equation A.5 is the more pre

Note: orange shaded cells are linked to Inputs tab.

Inputs:
μ 0.250 is the average load loss factor as defined in Equation (A.4)
Cj 0.04180 is the total cost of the energy at year j in cost per kWh as losses are expressed in kilowa
Cj 0.04817 is the total cost of the energy at year j in cost per kWh as losses are expressed in kilowa
ij 10% is the real discount rate at year j in per unit; generally the weighted average cost of cap
O aj 2000 is the operating time of the transformer at variable load during year j in h;
O fj 8760 is the operating time of the transformer at fixed load during year j in h, usually 8 760 h
T aj 0.5 is the share of variable load in the total load loss factor at year j;
T fj 0.5 is the share of fixed load in the total load loss factor at year j;
n 30 is the life expectancy of the transformer in years;
C μj 0 is the rate of load loss factor increase at year j;
C aj 0 is the rate of installed power increase at year j.
