DEFINITIONS RELATIVE TO ENERGY The gross limited power, on an access point for a given quarter of an hour, is the difference, if positive, between the offtaken power by the load(s) connected in this access point and the injected power by the local generation(s) associated to this access point, and this for the part of the injected power by these local generations that is smaller or equal to 25 MW. In case the before mentioned difference gives a negative value, the gross limited power is equal to 0. The gross limited energy, on a given access point for a given period, is the integral of the gross limited power in this access point for the given period. In other words, if • Pload(qh) is the average offtaken power by the loads on an access point for a given quarter of an hour qh, and • Pgeneration(qh) is the injected (produced) power by the local generation(s) associated to this access point on the given quarter of an hour qh, the gross limited energy, for the period per, equals E gross _ lim ited ( per ) =
∑ max(0; P

qh∈ per
(qh) − min( Pproduction (qh);25MW )).
The net offtaken power, on an access point for a given quarter of an hour, is the difference, if positive, between the offtaken power by the load(s) connected in this access point and the injected power by the local generation(s) associated to this access point. In case the before mentioned difference gives a negative value, the net offtaken power is equal to 0. The net offtaken energy, on a given access point for a given period, is the integral of the offtaken power in this access point for the given period. In other words, if • Pload(qh) is the average offtaken power by the loads on an access point for a given quarter of an hour qh, and • Pgeneration(qh) is the injected (produced) power by the local generation(s) associated to this access point on the given quarter of an hour qh, the net offtaken energy, for the period per, equals E offtaken ( per ) =

Remark If the injected power by the local generation(s) equals 0, the net offtaken energy coincides the gross limited energy. Example For a load of 100 MW (for a given quarter of an hour), and an injection of 40 MW by a local generation associated to this load:
Off-take by the charge = 100 MW
Injection by the local production = 40 MW
For the given quarter of an hour: • Net offtaken energy = max( 0, 100 MW – 40 MW) * 15 minutes = 15 MWh • Gross limited energy = max( 0, 100 MW – min(40 MW, 25 MW)) * 15 minutes =18,75 MWh.
