Review of Electric Utility Loss-of-Load Probability in 1979. Volume 1

摘要

Part of the function of the Department of Energy (DOE) is to monitor, facilitate and encourage the reliable operation and adequate planning of electric utility systems. In carrying out this function, the DOE required development of a screening methodology and access to an appropriate computer model. An analysis was made of 80 electric utility systems around the United States to determine their relative levels of generation adequacy during 1979. The sample utilities accounted for approximately 50% of the electric generating capability in the United States in 1979. The utilities sampled were generally representative of the combined power systems in the United States. (ERA citation 11:036103)
