This paper describes the need to assess and manage fossil power plant cycling costs, life expectancy, maintenance strategies, dispatch strategies, and plant reliability, and it presents a methodology that addresses these various needs. This methodology can be used to optimize capital and maintenance spending in order to minimize system-wide revenue requirements. A case study of Florida Power Corporation`s (FPC) 500 MWe Crystal River Units 1 and 2 is also presented.
