The Electric Generation Expansion Analysis System (EGEAS) was a modular state-of-the-art generation expansion software package. EGEAS was used by utility planners to produce integrated resource plans, evaluate independent power producers, develop avoided costs and environmental compliance plans, and analyze life extension alternatives. EGEAS was a set of computer modules that determine an optimum expansion plan or simulate detailed production costs for a prespecified plan. Expansion plans were defined by the type, size, and installation date for each new generating facility or demand-side management resource. Optimum expansion plans were developed in terms of annual costs, operating expenses, and carrying charges on investment. The objective is to find an integrated resource plan that meets the objective function specified by the user. The two objective functions in EGEAS included: minimizing total present worth costs and minimizing levelized annual customer rates.
