MIX ECONOMICS

1. Using the load curve (or LDC), determine mix on the basis of the
components of the load curve; namely, base-load, mid-to-peak load, and
ancillary.

MIX ECONOMICS
1.
Using the load curve (or LDC), determine mix on the basis of the components of the
load curve; namely, base-load, mid-to-peak load, and ancillary.

2. Determine technologies for each component of the load curve using basic rule of
power system economics of a veracally integrated uality; namely, a) the base-load
component are supplied by technologies with high capex and low variable/fuel costs;
and, b) mid- to peak load are supplied by technologies with low capex and high
variable/fuel costs. Moreover, they lend themselves to cycling and on/o operaaon
and control of capacity output

3. Distribute mix among the technologies using (1) & (2). Opamize mix on the basis of
the following criteria/constraints:

1) Cost-of electricity generaaon
2) Environmental impact
3) Security of supply

a) Indigenous vs. imported
b) Weather dependency
c) Geopoliacs

Costs to Consumers of Mix
For a uality, generaaon costs component will
be the same for all if at rate. But a Time-of-
Use (TOU) enables those with high Load
Factor (LF) to get lower rates. The
deregulated generaaon sector mirrors a TOU-
based rate determinaaon for end-users.
