| + | **Database model** - a model (or //framework//) which runs over an observed historical period, usually with the purpose of assembling an internally-consistent historical database. Its conceptual purpose can be the same of a //calibrator// framework except that a database model is not linked to a counterpart //simulator// framework. | ||
| **Dependency Structure** - represents the flows of information among the calculators of a framework and takes the form of an acyclic graph. The computational sequence of calculators may be inferred from the dependency structure. | **Dependency Structure** - represents the flows of information among the calculators of a framework and takes the form of an acyclic graph.

| - | **LF** - Load Factor | ||
| - | **LF for elec prod capacity** - The load factor is the ratio of the amount of electricity produced by a technology class in a year to the amount of electricity that could be potentially produced if the capacity of the technology class were run for every day of the year 24 hours per day. It is unitless and is a measure of how much electricity demand was dispatched (or assigned) to that technology class in a year. Dispatch in an actual grid of electricity production capacity is done on a minute by minute basis. | + | **Load Factor (LF) for electricity production capacity** - The load factor is the ratio of the amount of electricity produced by a technology class in a year to the amount of electricity that could be potentially produced if the capacity of the technology class were run for every day of the year 24 hours per day.
