Generation Expansion s System volume 2:Details of Solution Techniques, Data of Test Systems, and Glossary of Terms

摘要

EGEAS is a modular state-of-the-art capacity expansion software package. It contains five capacity expansion analysis options ranging from preliminary analysis tools based on screening curves and linear programming to sophisticated non-linear analysis tools utilizing a Generalized Benders' Decomposition algorithm and a Dynamic Programming algorithm. A stand alone, detailed probabilistic production costing algorithm is also available for prespecified expansion plan production cost and reliability analysis. The multiple EGEAS analysis options are incorporated into a single control analysis program allowing users to match the analysis option selected to a particular problem's requirements and complexity. At the same time, the implementation of a flexible modular and extendable data base common to all five analysis options simplifies data input and maintenance, and rules out input-related inconsistencies among the analysis options.
