| dc.description.abstract | This thesis examines the application of probability methods to the determination of spinning reserve requirements in a practical system. The uncertainty in load forecasting, the possible derated levels of large generating units, the availability of rapid start generation and the assistance available from the interconnection facilities are some of the important factors which affect the spinning reserve requirements. Existing theoretical concepts have been extended to include these elements in any spinning reserve study. A digital computer program has :been developed which incorporates these factors in the evaluation of a quantitative risk index. The effects in a practical application are shown using the Saskatchewan Power Corporation and Manitoba Hydro Systems as models. The spinning reserve commitment is dictated by the risk level selected. This is a management decision. •The lower the risk level, the higher the spinning reserve needed to' satisfy the given load. With the help of the methods outlined in this thesis, a consistent security measure can be established for any given system. | |
