Abstract
This paper describes the need to assess and manage fossil power plant cycling costs, life expectancy, maintenance strategies, dispatch strategies, and plant reliability, and it presents a methodology that addresses these various needs. This methodology can be used to optimize capital and maintenance spending in order to minimize system-wide revenue requirements
