A Profile of the Electric Power Industry

Figures

2.1	A stacked graph of end-use demands add up to the total system load (peak day)
2.2	Load shapes for six day types in MW (southeast). Each load shape is named for its season and then its day type
2.3	Output profile for a solar device
2.4	Output profiles for wind generation in the midwest
2.5	Variation of wind output within the peak season, peak days
2.6	Stacked production results by technology add up to the system load for a summer peak day
2.7	Screening curve (new plant cost versus hours of use)
2.8	Screening curve with better nuclear, higher gas and CO2 prices, and the ability to remove CO2 from coal plants
2.9	Stacked market shares for the three duty cycles
2.10	Calculating the operating reserves
