Intermediate-term security assessment of a power generating system

A study was made to evaluate the capability of a generating system to meet its load demand over an intermediate-term horizon with a well-defined schedule of planned outages. The evaluation considers the random nature of the future system capability and demand. Steady state Markov models of generating capacity were expanded in two ways: (1) more general, semi-Markov models of generating units were introduced; and security measures which depend upon the transient behavior induced by the schedule of planned outages were computed. The semi-Markov models are based on statistical analysis of the ten year outage history of four identical 200 MW coal-fired generating units. The transient behavior arises from knowledge of the start-up times of the units which were on planned outage.
