In the Ontario market, most generating stations are considered to be
"dispatchable." That is, they only operate when directed to by the IESO to
meet the demands of consumers in the Ontario market. Definitions
"Maximum Continuous Rating" is defined as the maximum output (MW) that a generating station is capable of producing continuously under normal conditions over a year. Under ideal conditions, the actual output could be higher than the MCR. "Planned Capability Factor" is the ratio of energy that could have been delivered by a generating station with pre-approved planned unit limitations in effect, to the energy that could have been delivered if the station had operated continuously at the Maximum Continuous Rating, over the same period of time. "Total Capability Factor" is the ratio of energy that could have been delivered by a generating station with pre-approved planned and forced unit limitations in effect, to the energy that could have been delivered if the station had operated continuously at the Maximum Continuous Rating, over the same period of time. "Actual Energy Production" is the amount of energy a generating station produced during the month, expressed in megawatt-hours (MWh). "Actual Production Factor" is the ratio of energy that was produced by a generating station, to the energy, over the same period of time, that could have been delivered if the station had operated continuously at the Maximum Continuous Rating. The report as published, is sorted in descending order of the Actual Energy Production. The Ontario Zone Diagram identifies the zones where each generating station is mapped. |
