Abstract

The work sets out the results of the theory/methodological refinement of models whereby peak generating plants are included in the reliability and availability patterns of electricity systems while operational planning operations are taking place. Account shall be taken of the technical and energy characteristics of such generating units, as well as of the specific conditions and requirements imposed on such generating units, resulting from their location and the role in covering peak loads and consumption of the electricity system.
