RELIABILITY EVALUATION OF POWER SYSTEM CONSIDERING FORCE OUTAGE RATE

Abstract

In the management and operation of power systems, reliability evaluations of generation system, combined generation and transmission system, as well as transmission system are extremely essential. The fundamental objective of reliability evaluation is to estimate the power supply and transfer capacities of power systems. In this study, the Nodal Effective Load Model method is used for assessing the overall system reliability indices with the consideration of the force outage rate (FOR) of the generators, transformers, and transmission lines. Moreover, the software TRANREL.FOR is ultilised as a simulation tool for the probabilistic reliability assessment and it is tested on a practical 24-bus power system.
