Description
The principles of matching electricity supply and demand are applied to New Brunswick as an example. It is shown that nuclear plant should be used for base load generation, and combustion turbines for peak loads, with coal for intermediate load. The picture is complicated by demand-side management. To calculate the optimal reserves, it is necessary to quantify unreliability costs, which has been attempted. Environmental legislation may introduce new costs and constraints
