Introduction The PROVIEW (PRY) Module is a resource planning model which determines the least-cost balanced demand and supply plan for a utility system under prescribed sets of constraints and assumptions. PROVIEW incorporates a wide varie...

AI summary The PROVIEW module is a resource planning tool used to develop least-cost balanced demand and supply plans for utility systems. It works with other modules like GAF and LFA to evaluate DSM programs through screening, optimization, and detailed analysis, incorporating factors such as emissions, cost effectiveness, and reliability.

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.

DR. CHAMBERLIN, CROSS-EXAM. BY MR. KEHOE 2756 doesn't particularly affect us. If people are at home and an air conditioner goes out on a hot summer day, those customers would probably have paid more than I would have to avoid that summer o...

AI summary Dr. Chamberlin discusses variations in outage costs among different customer classes, noting that industrial customers like petrochemical firms and semiconductor manufacturers have high reliability value and are willing to pay more for power quality. In contrast, domestic customers, located on the lower end of the distribution system, face inherently lower reliability.

DR. CHAMBERLIN, CROSS-EXAM. BY MR. KEHOE 2758 - that where you're coming from? - 2 A. I'm not sure that I'm saying I don't think I'm 3 saying that you have to agree with the reliability 4 standard. What I'm saying is that the price should...

AI summary The discussion revolves around the reliability standard and how the price should reflect the system's cost to maintain it. The witness is questioned about the historical revenue-to-cost ratio for domestic customers and whether outage costs influence this ratio across jurisdictions.
