Topic:"Planning Reserve Margin" in M04265

RESPONSE TO INFORMATION REQUEST TO: NSUARB FROM: NSPI Question IR-4: The justification of the Tuft's Cove conversion to dual-fuel capability was partly based on the displacement of new generation dictated by environmental considerations. i...

AI summary NSPI confirms that the planning model for the Tuft's Cove conversion considers the latest emissions caps and schedules new plant additions based on either reliability or emissions criteria, whichever is encountered first.

RESPONSE TO INFORMATION REQUEST TO: NSUARB FROM: NSPI Question IR-7: Please provide a table showing latest capacity available to the NSPI system after station service, the forecast of NSPI system load requirements, reserve capacity and per...

AI summary NSPI responded to an information request from NSUARB by providing a table showing the latest capacity available to the NSPI system after station service, along with load requirements, reserve capacity, and percent reserve for the period 1999–2019. The response references another table, UARB-IR-21, and cites the Public Utilities Act.

en a utility's actual reserve margin equals 14 its target. To compensate for this flaw, some jurisdictions allow utilities to adjust the 15 results downward whenever a utility has excess capacity. 16 17 The value-of-service (VOS) method ca...

AI summary The document discusses the value-of-service (VOS) method for calculating marginal generation capacity costs by measuring the cost of outages or the amount consumers would pay to avoid power loss. It highlights that the VOS method assumes a utility cannot add generating units to meet load increases and that outage costs are influenced by reliability levels and customer expectations.
