Power system reliability assessment—A conceptual and historical review

Probabilistic generating capacity adequacy evaluation: Research roadmap

“…There is also an additional set of indices that can provide system planners with sensitive and useful information. Although these indices are established and well documented in the literature, they are not widely used due to their complexity and the additional data that they need [1,5]. Some of these indices are as follows [1,5,9]:…”

“…Several important points should be noted about these probabilistic techniques, some of which are also stated in the available literature [1,3,9,11,14,20,21], as follows:…”

“…Probabilistic methods, on the other hand, are able to respond to the stochastic nature inherent in component failures and load variations and lead to accurate risk reliability estimation. The development and application of probabilistic techniques in evaluating the reliability of power systems has been acknowledged since 1930s and stay up to date [1,3].…”

“…With regard to power systems, reliability is the measure of their overall ability to meet the electrical energy needs of customers [1]. According to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), power system reliability can be defined as: "the ability to meet the electricity needs of end-use customers, even when unexpected equipment failures or other conditions reduce the amount of available power supply" [2].…”

“…In addition, appropriate reliability evaluation is highly required in power system designing and planning in order to make the system operates under successive good condition. Also analytical methods and simulation techniques are utilized to determine the sufficient generating capacity [4].…”
