Section 3 Functionalization of Operating & Depreciation Costs 

Manitoba Hydro    May 2017 PCOSS18    Page 11 

Functionalization of Operating 

Manitoba Hydro’s financial reporting system (SAP), via settlement cost centres (SCC), provides 

the  initial  functionalization of all  functional operating & maintenance  costs. Manitoba Hydro 

uses approximately 400  cost  centers  to provide  the  level of detail necessary  to  functionalize 

operating costs, as well as depreciation and rate base. 

 

The number of  costs  centers used depends on  the degree of  granularity  required  for  either 

functionalization  or  associated  business  purposes  (ie  OATT).    At  the  Generation  and 

Transmission level there is generally one cost center corresponding to each facility (generating 

station, switching station, convertor station, substation or  transmission  line). Costs related  to 

Subtransmission, Distribution Plant and Distribution Services are generally captured in a smaller 

number of non‐location specific cost centers, each corresponding to the sub‐functions used  in 

the  study. For example  there are distinct  cost  centers  for  Limestone GS, Henday CS and  the 

Glenboro‐Rugby 230 kV transmission line, but only a single cost center for subtransmission lines 

or distribution substations. 

 

Facility  cost  centres  are  used  to  capture  the  costs  associated with maintaining  or  operating 

facilities  used  to  produce,  transmit  or  distribute  electrical  energy  or  involved  in  providing 

customer  service.    Non‐facility  cost  centres  capture  the  costs  associated  with  various 

administrative  services/functions  or  facilities which  support  administrative  functions.    These 

administrative  costs  include  activities  such  as  human  resources,  payroll,  buildings  and  other 

such  costs  incurred  to  support  the  line  activities  that  provide  the  delivery  of  power  to  our 

customers.  

 

The PCOSS uses  two  similar approaches  to  functionalize administrative and common costs  in 

proportion to labour costs that result in nearly identical functionalization: 

 

SAP Labour Allocator – granular allocation to SCC level based on labour costs charged to 

each SCC.  Used in the initial SAP functionalization of common O&M costs.

Section 3 Functionalization of Operating & Depreciation Costs 

Manitoba Hydro    May 2017 PCOSS18    Page 12 

Internal  COS  Labour  Allocator  –  broad  allocation  to  functions  in  proportion  to 

functionalized  Operating  costs  (excluding water  rentals,  fuel,  and  power  purchases).  

Used  for any  subsequent offline  functionalization of common Operating, Depreciation 

or Rate Base. 

 

The costs for non‐facility cost centres are allocated to facility cost centres on the basis of the 

SAP Labour Allocator. Allocating administrative costs  to a  facility cost centre, which  is  in  turn 

functionalized, allows Manitoba Hydro to functionalize these costs without the need for explicit 

functionalization of administrative costs in the COSS. 

 

The  functionalization  of  some  costs  is  done  outside  of  the  Corporation’s  accounting  system 

such as communication system costs which are functionalized to all functions except customer 

service on the basis of the Internal COS Labour Allocator.   

 

Schedule 3.1 provides the results of the functionalization of Operating costs.   

 

Functionalization of Depreciation 

The  functionalization of Depreciation expense uses the same approach and cost centers used 

for Operating  costs.  In PCOSS18, depreciation on Buildings and General Equipment has been 

functionalized off‐line  as part of Cost of  Service.   Previously,  this  common depreciation was 

allocated to the individual facility cost center level as part of the SAP functionalization process. 

 

Schedule 3.2 provides the results of the functionalization of Depreciation costs.

Section 5 Development of Class Loads 

Manitoba Hydro    May 2017 PCOSS18    Page 28 

 

Development of Class Loads 

In Schedule 5.3, the energy sales at the meter are grossed up by distribution and transmission 

losses from Schedule 5.1, to yield estimated energy generated to serve the various classes and 

subclasses.  

 

The class coincident peak  load factors are used to derive class coincident peaks at the meter, 

which  are  reduced  by  forecast  DSM  savings.  Estimated  distribution  losses  and  transmission 

losses are applied to provide the estimate of class coincident peak at generation. Finally, class 

coincidence factors based on the Load Research information have been applied to derive class 

Non‐coincident peaks. The  calculation of  class Coincident Peak  and Non‐coincident Peak  can 

both be found in Schedule 5.3. 

 

The  Flat  Rate  Water  Heating  class  coincident  demand  is  estimated  on  the  basis  of  1  kW 

customer peak for the Residential class and 3.3 kW for General Service Small class. 

 

Street light energy consumption forecast is based on the inventory wattage multiplied by 4,200 

hours of use per year, a figure based on Load Research results.  The customer count is based on 

May 2016 actual billing data plus  forecast additions to the system of 1,202  lights to year end 

2018.   

 

Forecast export energy  in PCOSS18  includes 9,166 GWh  in sales, which equals 10,218 GWh at 

Generation after adding back transmission losses of 1,052 GWh. This energy is used to calculate 

variable hydraulic O&M costs and the pro‐rata share of water rentals attributed to exports 

 

Computation and Assignment of Losses 

In order to reflect differential  losses by class, energy sales and demand must be measured at 

generation  as  opposed  to  the  meter  when  allocating  energy  and  capacity  costs.    This  is 

accomplished by assigning distribution and transmission losses to each of the rate classes based 

upon the voltage level in which they receive service.

Section 5 Development of Class Loads 

Manitoba Hydro    May 2017 PCOSS18    Page 29 

 

Schedule  5.1  shows  the  computation  of  expected  transmission  and  distribution  losses  on 

Manitoba Hydro’s  Integrated System.   Common bus energy  losses have been  taken  from  the 

2016 Electric Load Forecast and adjusted  to  reflect  forecast DSM savings. Distribution energy 

losses  are  simply  the  difference  between  sales  at  meter  and  energy  at  common  bus.  

Distribution losses at time of system peak are calculated in Schedule 5.2 based on the approach 

used by Mr. M. W. Gustafson  in his article,  “Approximating  the System  Loss Equation”.   The 

adjustment factor of ‐13% for temperature reflects the reduction in the resistivity of conductors 

between  0C  and  ‐30C,  0C  being  the  average  Winnipeg  temperature  and  the  ambient 

temperature on the peak load day usually being around ‐30C. 

 

Distribution energy losses are assigned first. Customers receiving service at greater than 30 kV 

have  been  assigned  losses  based  upon  a  uniform  percentage  of  metered  sales  (1.5%). 

Customers  receiving  service at  supply voltage  less  than 30 kV  share  in  the  residual  losses. A 

differential percentage has been assigned depending upon whether service is taken at primary 

or secondary voltage level.  General Service Small ‐ Three Phase, General Service Medium and 

General  Service  Large  are  assumed  to  receive  service  at  a  primary  service  level,  while 

Residential, Area and Roadway Lighting and General Service Small  ‐ Single Phase are assumed 

to  receive  service  at  the  secondary  level.    Capacity  losses  on  the  Distribution  system  are 

assigned in a similar manner. 

 

The table below summarizes the assignment of the Distribution energy loss differential.

Transmission  losses are shared equally by all rate classes based upon deliveries from common 

bus, i.e., sales at the meter plus assigned distribution losses.
