Impacts of Western Area Power Administration`s power marketing alternatives on electric utility systems

Relationships between Western Area Power Administration`s power marketing program and hydropower operations at Salt Lake City area integrated projects

“…This simple method differs somewhat from that used to analyze EIS power marketing alternatives (Veselka et al 1995). It also tends to underestimate capacity and energy under dry hydropower conditions and overestimate capacity and energy under wet hydropower conditions.…”

“…Thus, it was impossible to construct more accurate probability distribution curves. However, detailed outputs from updated CRSS simulations were used to analyze power marketing alternatives selected by Western for examination under the power marketing EIS (Veselka et al 1995).…”

“…Estimates of capacity and energy were made by simplistic simulation models and on the basis of information, data, and documents supplied by Western and Reclamation. For a more detailed discussion of the relationships between power marketing alternatives and SLCA/IP hydropower plant operations, see Veselka et al (1995).…”

Revised financial analysis of experimental releases conducted at Glen Canyon Dam during water years 1997 through 2005.

“…Following an extensive public process and preparation of an Electric Power Marketing Environmental Impact Statement (EPM-EIS) (DOE 1996), Western selected the post-1989 level as the SLCA/IP preferred alternative (Veselka et al 1995). A seasonal summary of CROD and energy sold under these marketing criteria by division is shown in Table 4.1.…”

Oh Behave! Agents-Based Behavioral Representations in Problem Solving Environments

“…EMCAS is an electricity market model related to several earlier models [3,4]. EMCAS includes a large number of different agents to model the full range of time scales -from hours to decades -that are needed to understand the domain [5].…”
