Schedule Schedule

• Projected Assessment of System Adequacy is a simulation that focuses on the balance of supply
and demand in the medium term

Functions of PASA Phase
Projected Assessment of System Adequacy

• Schedule maintenance events for the subsequent simulation

phases MT Schedule and ST Schedule

• Model planned and maintenance outages of generation plants

and transmission lines, and their severity

• In multi-region models calculates the optimal amount of reserve

that should be shared between regions using the transmission
network, and can compute reliability statistics such as LOLP for
the system
