Electric Generation Capacity in New England in 1995 Richard Norgaard

چکیده
This study uses a capacity planning model to determine an optimal mix of generating plants for New England in the year 1995. The results indicate that New England has excess capacity in the generation of intermediate load and insufficient capacity in the generation of base load. The current intermediate load capacity is almost entirely oil-fired. and in 1995 it will have an average age of 35 years. The implication of the model is that the intermediate capacity is obsolete.
