While summarizing current reliability standards at home and abroad, application of reliability assessment method into power grid planning based on risk theories is studied. Probabilistic analysis and reliability assessment are combined to investigate the ability of a power system withstanding serious contingencies. The state enumeration method is used and risk indices, indicating the adequacy and security of a power system, are quantitated. A new frame of grid planning for power systems considering risk indices is then constructed. The application in the IEEE RTS-79 test system shows that the risk assessment method is valuable and beneficial to development and consummation of traditional power grid planning methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
