This paper presents a stochastic outage capacity state model for evaluating the random error in production cost which is estimated via the Baleriaux-Booth approach. In this paper, the coefficient of variation, which is the standard deviation divided by the mean, is used as the normalized standard random error of production cost. The proposed model is the first model capable of evaluating the variance of production cost for a system of realistic size. The proposed model is used to investigate the IEEE Reliability Test System with an 168-hour simulation horizon. In this 168-hour case, the resulting normalized standard random error is approximately 13%. An approximation for generalizing the results obtained from a short simulation horizon (e.g. a week) to a longer simulation horizon (e.g. a year) is also presented in this paper. This approximation is used to estimate the normalized standard random error for a one year simulation horizon. This result is approximately 2.7%.
