Adequate operating reserve is required in an electric power system in order to maintain a desired level of reliability throughout a given period of time. Interruptible load can be considered as a part of the system operating reserve if it is required. The inclusion of interruptible load in the assessment of unit commitment in interconnected systems is illustrated in this paper using a well‐being framework. A technique is presented to determine the well‐being indices of both isolated and interconnected systems with the inclusion of interruptible load. The impacts on the required number of committed units and the well‐being indices of the amount of interruptible load and the corresponding interruption time are examined in this paper by application to a hypothetical system and to the IEEE‐RTS. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
