User's guide for demonstration of Generation Availability Data System analysis decision routines. Final report

In the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Report RP 1391-5, Data System Quantitative Techniques, specified by S. M. Stoller Corporation, 17 analytical modules were recommended to be developed to assist utilities in evaluating the performance of their units using Generation Availability Data System (GADS) type data. Significant portions of nine principal analytical modules were developed as a pilot demonstration of remotely accessing, retrieving, and analyzing data with prompted questions or statements from the computer. The analysis routines were constructed with modular designs, thus permitting continued development of the remainder of the routines with minimal effort so that the current capabilities can be expanded for industry-wide application.
