S. Asgarpoor et al., TRANSMISSION CONSTRAINED PRODUCTION COSTING STRATEGY FOR OPTIMAL SO2 COMPLIANCE, Electric power systems research, 38(3), 1996, pp. 239-244
The main goal of electric utilities has always been to meet the requir
ed load in the most reliable and economical manner. The Clean Air Act
Amendments of November 1990 are now causing utilities to include lower
emission levels among these priorities. This paper outlines a product
ion costing strategy which works to optimize the system relative to ec
onomic, security, and SO, emission level considerations. This strategy
utilizes the Monte Carlo method to determine the state of the system
and carry out the simulation. A computer program has been developed to
implement this strategy, which will be analyzed based on a modified I
EEE Reliability Test System. (C) 1996 Elsevier Science S.A.
