Transmission Facilities - Network or Not
FERC uses the Mansfield Criteria to determine if a transmission facility is a network facility:
The five Mansfield criteria are: (1) whether the facilities are radial, or whether they loop back into the transmission system; (2) whether energy flows only in one direction, from the transmission system to the customer over facilities, or in both directions, from the transmission system to the customer, and from the customer to the transmission system; (3) whether the transmission provider is able to provide transmission service to itself or other transmission customers over the facilities in question; (4) whether the facilities provide benefits to the transmission grid in terms of capability or reliability, and whether the facilities can be relied on for coordinated operation of the grid; and (5) whether an outage on the facilities would affect the transmission system.

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.
If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
