Zusammenfassung:This paper describes an economic cost-benefit method for determining the optimal power system capacity and reliability of electricity supply using customer shortage costs. The approach is based upon identifying a system plan that simultaneously considers cost-of-service as well as value-of-service, and maximizes the net economic benefits taking into account the interdependence between electricity reliability, price, and demand. In contrast to the existing literature on this subject, which considers only customer outage costs, this paper argues that it is the related but considerably broader notion of customer shortage cost that is more relevant in the context of optimizing the reliability of electricity supply. The paper develops a method for estimating shortage costs and sketches an integrated framework for optimizing reliability using such costs.
