Optimal System Planning with Fuel Shortages and Emissions Constraints

Michael Einhorn

The Energy Journal, 1983, vol. 4, issue 2, 73-90

Abstract: Electric utility system planners must design system capacity ex- pansion paths that satisfy generation requirements at least cost. Historically, doing this required information regarding the system load duration curve and alternative fuel and capital costs. By putting fuel and capital costs into a linear program, system designers could then calculate the amount of electricity that base, intermediate, and peaking plants should generate and how much capacity each plant type should have.
