ECONOMIC DISPATCH OF POWER PLANT CAPACITY There are three basic types of plants in a given GRID :  Baseload Power Plants =  These power plant compose the bulk of the capacity available to supply the given grid with continuous power for a minimum of 16 hours a day.  The Department of Energy is setting 70 percent of the Grid Capacity as Baseload Capacity. From the economic standpoint, the baseload plant have inherent high capital cost per KW, but with minimal fuel cost, if at all eg. Hydro Power Plants., Geothermal Power Plants, Natural Gas, Coal-fired Power Plants are best examples of existing power plants in operation.  Thermal or Bunker-C  Fuel-fed power plants which have efficient heat rates are no longer considered as Baseload power plants for the Main Grid considering the highest fuel cost they incur at Php 8.50 / Kwh.  They are considered at baseload plants for island-grid or off-grid areas. Mid-Merit Power Plants =  These pow...

DRAFT EXECUTIVE ORDER / ACT / ORDINANCE /  BILL ON THE RATIONALIZATION OF POWER GENERATION IN THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES WHEREAS  The country is now crossing the Rubicon as far as the electric power industry is concerned, with the Luzon Grid having a more or less stable and balanced Power Generation Mix and the Visayas Grid still having power shortages despite being interconnected with the Luzon Grid, and the Mindanao Grid having an abnormal Glut of more than 100 percent of Peak Demand requirement. WHEREAS  There is an abnormal situation in the Mindanao Grid, with most of the Grid connected power plants running at 50 % capacity factor, and the Hydro Power plants down to 35 to 40 % capacity factor, resulting into spilling or wasted water. WHEREAS   There is a constant danger to lives and properties if the Hydro Power Plants are not operated as designed, and other plants similarly situated face the same prospect of being physically impaired...
