Terminals that can split standard-size LNG cargoes into smaller parcels.
An area in which an observation is made by a Marine Mammal Observer to monitor the presence of marine mammals and sea turtles. The monitoring zone has a radius of 3 kilometers from the air gun array.
Acoustic pressure wave generators which produce a controlled pulse of air into the body of water.
The air guns are towed behind the dedicated vessel at a depth of a few meters and produce acoustic pressure waves that pass through the body of water to the subsurface by releasing air bubbles. The array may consist of air guns of different volumes. In such an array, the intensity of energy produced is proportional to the total volume of the air guns.
Combination of producers and consumers
The Value of Lost Load (VOLL) is an indicator of the economic implications of non-supply of electricity due to a malfunction in the system and represents the cost a consumer would be willing to pay to avoid a disruption.
This value varies among the types of consumers and reflects the difference between the damage to each type.
