Abstract

Upon the enactment of the R.A. 9136 (EPIRA), “The Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001”, more and more private power plants were attracted to the market of supplying energy to the country. Hence, arising the need for a selection process wherein power plants will be organized in a merit order before coming up to a power plant schedule. This study discusses the said selection process for power plant scheduling as practiced in WESM. This study also tackles the factors influencing the schedule and how the demand load affects the whole process. It was showed in this study that those factors are generating plants’ capacity, price offer, type, ramp rate, security limit, and finally the system status. Nevertheless, just like all the others, it promotes “Safety First”. The security of the system always comes first before any monetary value.
