A model of an electrical system node is presented. It allows predicting the effects of long and short interruptions as well as of voltage dips on final users starting from statistical input data. The model is developed using an extension of the homogeneous multi-state Markov process to take into account the non exponential nature of the failure-repair process. Case studies demonstrate the usefulness of the model for practical applications.
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.
