B. Porretta et Eg. Neudorf, CONCEPTUAL-FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATION AND INTERPRETATION OF THE RELIABILITY OF THE COMPOSITE POWER-SYSTEM, IEEE transactions on power systems, 10(2), 1995, pp. 1094-1100
This paper presents a conceptual framework for reliability evaluation
which is based on the principles which underlie the procedures used in
practice to achieve reliability of operation. Based on this framework
, the paper discusses: the interpretation of the meaning of Security a
nd Adequacy; the observability of Security and Adequacy interruptions;
the different nature of interruptions due to. Security and Adequacy a
nd their impacts on the customer interruption costs; the interdependen
ce of Security, Adequacy and operating costs; the nature of forced out
ages of generation and transmission elements and how they impact Secur
ity and Adequacy; and a practical procedure for the calculation of Ade
quacy and Security.
