Problems Associated with the Operation of Jointly-Owned Generators Prepared for the System Operations Sub-committee of the System Engineering Committee by the Current Operational Problems Working Group

Abstract

This paper is one of a series for use in Current Operational Problems (COPS) forums with the goal of focusing industry attention on high-priority problems faced by electric system operators. The four ``short note reports'' in this paper discuss a broad range of problems with the operation of jointly-owned generation. Utilities with different financial and operational backgrounds participate in jointly-owned generation for many reasons. The fusing of these diverse elements for equitable operation of jointly-owned generation is the focus of the short note reports.
