Cell lines derived from Kaposi sarcoma lesions of patients with AIDS (AIDS-KS cells) produce several cytokines, including an endothelial cell growth factor, interleukin 1 beta, and basic fibroblast factor. Since exposure to human immunodeficiency virus increases 6 (IL-6) production in monocytes cells IL-6, we examined IL-6 expression response AIDS-KS tissue. The (N521J EKS3) secreted large amounts immunoreactive biologically active IL-6. We found both receptor (IL-6-R) RNA by slot blot...
Control room operators are faced with frequent security-economy decision-making situations necessitated by stressed system operating conditions, and there is increased need for decision-support tools. Although probabilistic methods promising in this regard, they have been mainly used planning environments. This task force paper explores their use operational decision-making, comparing them to the more traditional deterministic approach. Two examples facilitate comparison via overload low...
There is an emerging recognition that utility investments and other decisions affect electric service reliability should be explicitly evaluated on the basis of their cost benefit implications. A cost-benefit approach quantifies benefits alternatives in terms reduction costs resulting from unserved energy enables evaluation generation transmission capacity additions a consistent, economic basis. This has been applied to two case studies. In study for Pacific Gas Electric Company, it was used...
The loss-of-load expectation (LOLE) risk metric has been used in probabilistic power system resource adequacy assessment for over 70 years, and today is one of the most recognizable widely-used measures shortfall risk. However, this wide adoption accompanied by ambiguities inconsistencies its definition application. This paper provides a unifying reference defining as it relates to modern analyses, while clarifying number common points confusion In particular, clarifies that LOLE not measure...
There is a vast amount of literature dealing with composite system reliability. A survey was conducted by the IEEE Composite System Reliability Task Force to assess state industry practice in probabilistic assessment general and reliability (CSR) analysis particular. Increasing interest has been seen evaluating impact high penetration renewables such as photovoltaics wind, retirement coal plants, regulatory requirements, other policies on basis - that is, including both generation...
Electric utilities seeking to purchase power from nonutility generators (NUGs) need provide information NUG developers on the value utility system of various attributes, in order that can design projects maximize net benefits. Dispatchability is one key attribute. This paper outlines three previous approaches communicating dispatchability, and describes a fourth approach. The approach presents table numbers representing dispatchability as function energy bid price escalation rate. It has...
This paper presents a bibliography on composite power system reliability evaluation. It includes material which has become available since the publication of eight previous papers, "Bibliography Application Probability Methods in Power System Reliability Evaluation," published 1972, 1978, 1984, 1988, 1994, 1999, and 2001, Composite (1964-1988)," 1989. Papers related areas such as probabilistic load flow, production costing, outage data statistics, have not been included unless they...
Composite Power System Reliability is defined as the computational procedure that quantifies probability power system will perform function of delivering electric to customers adequately, on a continuous basis and with an acceptable quality. This definition leaves many details undefined exemplifies ambiguity in reliability analysis. The increasing deployment wind PV creates additional uncertainties make analysis rather complex issue. Because increased uncertainty need for composite...
As the electric power industry continues to evolve, more participants will have a broader array of decisions and options relating reliability. Regulatory commissions monitor reliability assure an acceptable level proper functioning markets. The North American Electric Reliability Council Canadian Electrical Association long histories collecting data. Most these data are held confidential. Some summary statistics made public, but industry's willingness participate in efforts is diminishing....
A revision of IEEE Standard 762, Definitions for Use in Reporting Electric Generating Unit Reliability, Availability, and Productivity is under development to extend the standard variable energy resource (VER) generating facilities. It has been proposed that include generation-based reliability indexes VER units corresponding traditional time-based current previous version standard. This paper describes motivations using them, outlines issues their definition, discusses implications system...

IEEE's Power Engineering Society has recognized for many years the need to speak on policy issues, such as energy and environment, with statements that are comprehensive, meaningful representative of membership. But it not had an organizational component make happen. In summer 2001, PES established Policy Development Coordinating Committee address this other large matters a technical nature where broad commercial interests at issue. This paper describes background, obstacles steps in...
A key issue in the design of competitive wholesale power markets is whether market will provide adequate incentives for investment new plants given greater risk a deregulated market. Five related issues are discussed. Trends plant construction, structure influences potential bust cycle what required appropriate balancing supply and demand, US West Coast Summer 2000.
