Usage Warnings
Contains rows where missing values were imputed.
This table is experimental and/or a work in progress and may change in the future.
Additional Details
This table is based on core_eia930__hourly_operations, but adds imputed demand where the original data was missing or anomalous. Codes explaining why values have been imputed can be found in the core_pudl__codes_imputation_reasons table.
Columns

Unaltered originally reported net generation for the specified period.
Reported net generation adjusted by EIA to reflect non-physical commercial transfers through pseudo-ties and dynamic scheduling.
Reported net generation with outlying values removed and missing values imputed by EIA.
Original reported energy interchange between adjacent balancing authorities.
Energy interchange between adjacent balancing authorities, adjusted by EIA to reflect non-physical commercial transfers through pseudo-ties and dynamic scheduling.
Energy interchange between adjacent balancing authorities, with outliers and missing values imputed by EIA.
Originally reported electricity demand, calculated by taking the net generation within the BA and subtracting the interchange with adjacent BAs.
Electricity demand adjusted by EIA to reflect non-physical commercial transfers through pseudo-ties and dynamic scheduling.
Electricity demand calculated by subtracting BA interchange from net generation, with outliers and missing values imputed in PUDL.
Code describing why a demand value was flagged for imputation.
