ADEQUACY ASSESSMENT USING A MODIFIED 4-STATE MODEL

This paper presents a modified four-state model that can be utilized t o assess adequacy at the generation level of a power system. The model can incorporate various operating factors that influence system relia bility. A new probabilistic technique that utilizes the model has been developed to evaluate static reserve capacity and margin in a generat ing system for a given risk criterion. The model can also be utilized in adequacy assessments with deterministic approaches. (C) 1998 John W iley & Sons, Ltd.
