Abstract

An electric utility provides power to its customers at a rate equivalent to approximately 60 percent of its generating capacity. Of the remaining 40 percent, some power is needed for plant maintenance and emergency standby. The rest is available for any variations in the power demand on a daily, weekly and seasonal basis. On a daily basis the minimum load averages are only 60 to 70 percent of the peak load.
