Abstract :
The various factors that should control the assignment of generation among power units of a power system are assembled and reviewed briefly here. Whether to use a unit and at what load can be determined satisfactorily only by co-ordinating availabilities and costs of other units, total system load, and interconnection schedules, together with electrical limitations such as spinning reserve, service continuity, voltage regulation, and transmission losses.
