WRATES programmers's manual: Final report
Wheeling is the transmission of electrical energy from a seller to a buyer through transmission lines owned by the wheeling utility. The Wheeling Rate Evaluation Simulator (WRATES) is a computer program developed by Meta Systems to determine the price of wheeling services based on the true cost of wheeling. WRATES can evaluate four types of wheeling: utility to utility; utility to private user; private generator to utility; and, private generator to private user. In light of recent inquiries by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regarding transmission access, phases like ''economic wheeling'' and ''common carrier'' have become subjects of utmost interest. WRATES can provide valuable information about such vital issues to policy makers, regulators, industrials and utilities. This document is the programmer's manual for version 01 of the Wheeling Rate Evaluation Simulator ''WRATES''.
