AVOIDED OPERATING COST IN THERMAL GENERATING SYSTEMS N. CHOWDHURY Power Systems Research Group University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon, Canada
Non-Utility Generation (NUG) Independent Power Producers Cogenerating Plants Type of NUGs Conventional Solar Biomass Wind
Non-Utility Generation (1) Dispatchable Utility maximizes savings (2) Non-dispatchable Utility is tied to the NUG schedule
Firm Capacity Unit Commitment Capacity Credit Energy Credit Non-Firm Capacity Energy Credit
Operating Cost Load Profile Operating Criteria (1) Deterministic (2) Probabilistic Optimum Loading Configuration
Avoided Operating Cost Optimum operating Cost Without a NUG Optimum operating Cost With a NUG All cost figures are evaluated on the basis of optimum loading schedule of the generating units that satisfy all operating and reliability criteria.

Conclusions Avoided operating cost depends on the operating criterion. Optimum loading schedules should be utilized in the assessment of avoided operating cost. The technique illustrated in this paper is simple and straightforward. The technique can handle deterministic and probabilistic operating criteria with little difficulty.
