Abstract
In this paper, Southwest Power Pool´s (SPP) experience in analyzing generation adequacy is presented. This analysis is conducted by examining a common reliability index, Loss of Load Expectation (LOLE). The SPP system performance was gauged against the popular industry standard of one day in ten years. SPP´s interpretation of this standard and its relevance is discussed along with the results of the study. This analysis was conducted using ABB GridView, a production costing tool with functionality to analyze LOLE for 8,760 hours using Monte Carlo Simulation.
