Given a system that has a generation portfolio shown in Table 1 and a load duration curve shown in Figure 1 for a year's operation. Determine the additional required number of 100 MW generation plant with 90% availability in the next 20 years so that the LOLP is maintained below 1% considering a load growth of 5% per year. Also, provide the EENS, LOLE and LOLP per year.
