PV Schaeffer, LJ Cherene, 1989. The inclusion of "spinning reserves" in investment and simulation models for electricity generation.
European Journal of Operational Research
In this article we showed, for the first time to our best knowledge, that the ease and speed with which generating capacity can be added or removed as electricity demand changes with time of day, impact the recommended optimal power plant mix.

Decisions Methodology Relative to the Adoption of New Technology: Load Curves and the Capacity Expansion Decision
. Palo Alto, CA: Electric Power Research Institute, Research Project 1298-2, pp. 4.1 – 4.82
This publication summarizes the literature of the first three decades of mathematical programming models of optimal electricity generation investment decisions. It is still useful to those starting to work in this specialized field now by providing information and background for today's modeling efforts.
