Greetings,
As I knew, capacity credit and maximum availability are important parameters for modelling power plants in LEAP. I have a question :
1. Currently, I still confused about the differences between Capacity Credit and Maximum Availability. Because, as I knew, those were roughly the same.
I know that they are literally two different parameter input in LEAP,
But let's say that :
- We have a process (power plant) call it Buba Gas Turbine Power Plant, that has 80% Capacity Credit (towards Reserve Margin) ;
That also has same meaning with "The process maximum availability of the Buba Gas Turbine power plant to be dispatched is only 80% throughout years", isn't it?
- Or if there is a process power plant, Jack Jo Wind Turbine Power Plant (which has low capacity credit let's say 20% Capacity credit)
That also the same with statement "The maximum availability of Jack Jo Wind Turbine Power Plant is only 20% throughout years", isn't it?
I know, It is hard to explain the question, but I do not know, in my opinion, those two parameters sounds like same meaning.
I hope my question could be understood properly.
Thank you so much for anybody who reply and answer my questions. I really appreciate it.
Best Regards,
