The Misha, thank you for the suggestion. The problem is, firstly, that I frequently need the verb for резервировать - along the lines of requesting/ ensuring the availability of/ paying for / backing up - thank you, Jim - reserve capacity (service) from neighboring grids (while the problem of having no reserve capacity on hand within the system is also described). Secondly, peaking plants (peakers) are a subclass, if you will - capacities that take care of peak loads (as opposed to base-load cases, for instance). Here, should this one plant shut down unexpectedly, its entire capacity is lost to the system. That said, I am indeed looking for synonyms to "reserve capacity" - in the very broadest sense. |
