Abstract
Operations planning for the Great Lakes Power Ltd (GLP) power system has been carried out with the use of a comprehensive Decision Support System (DSS) since early 1995. The GLP system comprises twelve hydroelectric facilities on four river systems in Northern Ontario, with a total capacity of 300 MW, and supplies electricity in the Sault Ste. Marie area. GLP can meet approximately two thirds of the area demand, and imports the remaining power from Ontario Hydro, under an existing time-of-use rate structure for peak power and total energy consumption.
