Abstract :
In this paper, the computational procedures for generating unit maintenance scheduling using the levelized reserve capacity method are given by using an example system. The rates obtained are used to estimate the power plant´s capacity factors. The influence of the generating unit´s maintenance is taken into account in the obtained energy output of each generating unit, production cost and the power system´s reliability.
