Abstract :
The current practice of placing large-size fossil and nuclear steam-generating units into commercial operation will continue unabated for at least the next 10 years. Such units, intended primarily for base-load operation, generally do not have large load-turndown and two-shift cycling capabilities. Consequently, a loss of operating flexibility is slowly being created with potential future problems for power system operation.
