Meter MW, Meter Mvar
These are the real and reactive power flowing on the tie line from the selected area to the other area. (Real and reactive power flowing on line from the Near bus to the Far bus.)
Status
This field gives the status of the tie line as Open or Closed.
MW Loss, Mvar Loss
These fields show the real and reactive power losses on the tie line.
To determine the total loss for an area, losses for tie-lines between areas are assigned to the area in which the terminal bus that is NOT the metered bus is contained. The Metered End field for a branch determines which of the terminals is metered.
