Download or read book Least Cost Electric Utility Planning written by Harry G. Stoll and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1989-06-26 with total page 828 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents all the key elements and tools necessary to plan and operate efficient electric utility power systems. Seven sections address economics, finance, and regulation; industrial power economics; load demand and management; reliability of the generation system; cost of production in the generation system; capacity planning; and transmission planning. Each section addresses power system theory and principles and applies them to realistic utility examples. Results from solved examples are expanded to illustrate the sensitivity and direction of key parameters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: -updates the previous analyses and discussions of system economics to include solar and storage resource options versus the previously analyzed fossil-fueled generation and demand side management (DSM) resource options. -provides a step-by-step analysis approach that can be used to determine the amount of solar and storage that would be needed by a utility to achieve zero or near-zero carbon emissions, plus discusses how the projected level of electric vehicles (EVs) impact those calculations. - presents a discussion of how the firm capacity of solar is calculated based on a utility’s Summer and Winter peak day load shapes and how these values will change over time. - provides a discussion and calculation methodology of how a utility can determine what firm capacity values should be assigned to batteries of different durations (2-hour, 4-hour, etc.) for use in system reliability and economic analyses and how these values will change over time. - continues the approach taken in the 1st edition of explaining topics in language understandable to both the layman and the energy professional. In that respect, the numerous figures and tables provide both graphic and numerical calculation depictions of the issues discussed.
Download or read book Electric Utility Resource Planning written by Steven Sim and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people—including many legislators, regulators, and other decision makers in the electric utility industry—have misconceptions about how electric utilities really "work" and plan for the future. This lack of understanding can lead to poorly informed decisions and policies that directly affect the choices utilities must make. Using easy-to-understand text and examples, Electric Utility Resource Planning: Economics, Reliability, and Decision-Making clarifies how utilities operate their systems and prepare for the future. This explanation will show readers that both expected and counterintuitive results can occur (i.e., conservation might result in higher air emissions, or lowering costs could lead to higher electric rates). Taking readers step by step through this process, the book (in the following order): "Creates" a hypothetical utility Explains how and why a utility operates its system of generating units Discusses the planning methods that a utility would (or should) use Guides readers through each stage of a planning analysis for the hypothetical utility, examining various resource options (conservation, new power plants, and solar) In addition, the author introduces four Fundamental Principles of Resource Planning that should guide utilities. He also offers opinions on how certain trends in utility regulation and legislation can hinder utility planners’ efforts to identify and select the best resources for the utility’s customers. With this book, author Dr. Steven Sim applies his experience and insights from more than two decades of resource planning for Florida Power and Light (FPL). As one of the largest utilities in the United States, FPL has faced a multitude of resource planning challenges, and Dr. Sim has performed and supervised thousands of analyses designed to meet these obstacles. He has also served as an FPL witness in regulatory hearings on a wide variety of topics, ranging from the economic implications of nuclear, conservation, coal, gas, and other resource options, to the non-economic impacts (air emissions, fuel usage, system reliability, etc.) they present.

Download or read book Electric Utility Resource Planning written by Joe Ferrari and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2020-09-25 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electric Utility Resource Planning: Past, Present and Future covers the balance of renewable costs, energy storage, and flexible backstop mechanisms needed in electric utility resource planning. In addition, it covers the optimization of planning methodologies and market design. The book argues that net load, ramping and volatility concerns associated with renewables call into question the validity of almost a century of planning approaches. Finally, it suggests that accounting for flexibility helps optimize the efficiency of the entire fleet of assets, minimizing costs and CO2 generation simultaneously, concluding that a flexible, independent backstop mechanism is needed, regardless of renewables or storage. Case studies provide a mix of hypothetical "what if" scenarios and analyses of real-life utility portfolios drawn from international examples. Examines how resource planners and policy specialists can plan to incorporate renewable generation technologies, thus uniting considerations of technology, methodology, business and policy Focuses on the reality of long-term decision-making and planning processes in working utilities Reviews novel approaches towards resource planning that yield lower costs and CO2 Emphasizes the need for flexible backstop mechanisms to maintain reliability
