Natural Gas Fired Combined Cycle Generators: Dominant Solutions in Capacity Planning

Abstract
Natural Gas fired gas turbine combined cycle technologies are evaluated in a standard capacity planning model for the 6 EPRI Regional Utilities. Results Indicate that GTCC technology dominates the optimal decision paths for 4 of the 6 regions studied. Further, the study concludes that the GTCC options offer minimal downside risk on price of gas, on operating conditions or on capital cost.
