Electric-generation-expansion analysis system. Volume 2: details of solution techniques, data of test systems, and glossary of terms. Final report. [EGEAS computer code]
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 Beners' 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. The development and implementation of a detailed but nevertheless efficient probabilistic production costing algorithm made possible the addition to EGEAS of a number of advanced features. These features include maintenance scheduling, economy interchange and reserve sharing, storage and limited energy unit modeling as well as Non-Dispatchable Generation and Load Management Analysis. Sensitivity, uncertainty and trade-off analyses are also available in EGEAS. This volume, Volume 2, includes mathematical appendices and a detailed description of the three generating systems used for testing and validating EGEAS.
