Cosis: cost of service information system. Model-simulation
The Cost of Service Information System of models (COSIS) is an integrated, electric utility strategic planning system. This system of five models, written in FORTRAN, provides a framework for the examination of a wide range of utility strategics or environmental conditions. The five models are: (1) LAm which derives projected load duration curves for up to 30 years on a system level to serve as input to capacity expansion and production simulating models. (2) PCS (Production Cost Simulation) which projects energy production by generating unit as a function of the unit's equivalent availability, capacity, loading position, and the energy supply demands on the system. (3) FRED which calculates the monthly average profile at the system level from the historical or reference year. (4) RAm (Regulatory Analysis Model) which performs up to 30 years of financial statements for an electric utility. (5) ACE which performs cost allocations based on financial projections from ths RAm model. The models are written in Fortran for implementation on UNIVAC 1100/84 computers operating under OS.
