The phrase "alternative capacity" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a different role, function, or ability that someone or something can assume or perform.
Example: "In an alternative capacity, she took on the role of project manager while the original manager was on leave."
Alternatives: "different role" or "substitute function".
In the presence of a large share of variable renewable energy sources, the reserve design should be adjusted or replaced by an alternative capacity mechanism.
Within the multi-objective stochastic model for a forward/reverse logistic network design by Ramezani et al. (2013), the opening of plants, distribution centers, collection centers, hybrid processing facilities and disposal centers is connected to alternative capacity levels.
Within their two-echelon SC network design problem in a deterministic single-period multi-commodity context, Sadjady and Davoudpour (2012) model alternative capacity levels for warehouses and plants, and additionally provide an algorithm for their determination.
Moreover, resistance to TMV in tobacco induced by antimycin A (AA), an inhibitor of the cytochrome pathway, was repressed with increased alternative pathway capacity, and both SA -and AA-induced resistances were enhanced when alternative pathway capacity was reduced [ 27, 28].
However, we found that although antimycin A-induced resistance to TMV was affected in plants with either increased, or decreased, alternative respiratory capacity, SA-induced resistance to this virus was only affected (enhanced) in plants with a decreased capacity.
Boris Johnson has called for the debate over Heathrow's future and alternative airport capacity in southern England to be decided by the end of next year.
A strategy examining the potential use of alternative higher capacity vehicles and rail for the flows between nine regional consolidation centres showed cost and CO2 savings.
These data show that modulating alternative respiratory capacity affects PVX accumulation.
However, basal resistance to TMV in N. benthamiana was not affected by modification of alternative respiratory capacity.
Modifying alternative respiratory capacity had dramatic effects on disease symptoms in PVX-infected plants and on virus accumulation in directly-inoculated and systemically infected leaves.
Decreasing the alternative pathway capacity by expression of AOX-E did not appear to affect symptom development following infection with PVX.
