Abstract

The description of collecting and processing system of unavailability data of generating units of 120+500 MW, maintained in energy market agency (ARE SA) is given in the paper. This system concerns 112 units with total capacity of about 2/3 of Polish power system´s generation capacity. The definitions of calculated indices are given as well as comparison with used by NERC (North American Electric Reliability Council) in GADS (Generating Availability Data System). Also the values of reliability and performance indices of Polish generating units from the last years are given and compared with American generating units´ data.
