A method, system and program product for quantifying a risk of an expected
unserved energy in an energy generation system using a digital
simulation. An energy load demand forecast is generated based at least in
part on a weather year model. A plurality of energy generation resources
are committed to meet the energy load demand. An operating status is
determined for each committed energy generation resource in the energy
generation system. A determination is made as to whether or not the
committed resources are sufficient to meet the energy load demand. A
dispatch order for a plurality of additional energy resources is selected
if the committed resources are not sufficient to meet the energy load
demand. Additional resources are committed based on the selected dispatch
order until the energy load demand is met. The expected unserved energy
is determined and an equivalent amount of energy load demand is shed
based at least in part on an expected duration of unserved energy and a
customer class grouping. An associated cost for the expected unserved
energy is also determined.
