Seminar

The seminar will first briefly introduce some of the basic probability concepts used in the reliability assessment of electric power systems and then focus on the reliability evaluation of generation, transmission and distribution systems. The utilization of both analytical techniques and Monte Carlo simulation will be presented. The reliability information requirements to support both predictive and past performance assessments of load point and system reliability will be illustrated using Canadian utility data. The seminar will also illustrate the extension of conventional reliability indices to value based reliability assessment incorporating customer interruption costs. 

Seminar Agenda

• Introduction
• Module 1: Basic Probability and Reliability Concepts
• Module 2: Generating Capacity Reliability Evaluation
• Module 3: Composite Generation and Transmission System Reliability Evaluation
• Module 4: Network and Electric Distribution System Reliability Evaluation
• Module 5: Value Based Power System Reliability Evaluation

Each module will be followed by a hands-on problem solving session to reinforce the concepts introduced.
