At present, electrical reserve capacity is 18-20% of installed capacity compared with 5-7% reserve capacity prior to 1991. Approximately 30% of this installed capacity is in need of major reconstruction or replacement. The availability of reserve capacity to cushion demand and the current lull in the economy create an excellent opportunity to upgrade and/or construct new power generation capacity. 2, record 1, English, - reserve%20capacity

La puissance des centrales permet d’estimer la capacité théorique de production d’énergie électrique du parc des centrales wallonnes(situation au 1er janvier 1978). Après une étude de la diversité technique et de la puissance des équipements, la confrontation de la puissance développable par le parc de production avec la puissance réellement appelée sur le réseau met en évidence l'importance de la puissance de réserve. 3, record 1, French, - puissance%20de%20r%C3%A9serve

Es necesario hacer notar que mientras un mercado sea más grande e independiente de factores aleatorios, el suministro de energía será más económico y con menor posibilidad de llegar a condiciones riesgosas de funcionamiento, trayendo consigo ventajas como son las de reducir su potencia de reserva y optimizar el despacho de las centrales hidroeléctricas, entre otras. [...] En síntesis, la evaluación se centro en la posibilidad de disminuir la potencia de reserva como consecuencia de : - La diversidad entre demandas máximas. - La disminución de la probabilidad de falla de potencia en las horas de demanda máxima, que se traduce en ahorro de reserva si se pretende mantener probabilidades de falla similares a las existentes antes de la interconexión. La mejor adaptación del equipamiento al crecimiento de las demandas de potencia. 2, record 1, Spanish, - potencia%20de%20reserva
