Power pool does not perform the task
Answers
Answer:
Power pooling is used to balance electrical load over a larger network (electrical grid) than a single utility. It is a mechanism for interchange of power between two and more utilities which provide or generate electricity[1] For exchange of power between two utilities there is an interchange agreement which is signed by them, but signing up an interchange agreement between each pair of utilities within a system can be a difficult task where several large utilities are interconnected. Thus, it is more advantageous to form a power pool with a single agreement that all join. That agreement provides established terms and conditions for pool members and is generally more complex than a bilateral agreement.
Answer:
The transmission grid utilities, electricity production and facilitates the dispatch of excess capacity from one system to another.
Thus the output from different power plants is pooled, scheduled according to increasing marginal constant dispatched according to merit order to meet demand.
When a power utility enters a power pool, it is joining and communicating with a coalition of other power generation facilities. This cooperation leads to less expensive and more reliable energy throughout the power pool’s region.
Benefits created by power pool:
- Provision of emergency support.
- sharing spinning reserve capacity.
- Balancing generation mix( eg SAPP , 74% coal,20% hydro,4% nuclear, 2% diesel)
