Abstract

Reliability equivalents can prove useful in the evaluation of large systems where sensitivity studies are to be performed on a portion of the system or where the system is to be interconnected to a further system which is to be studied in detail. These situations arise quite frequently in power system applications. This paper illustrates the concept of reliability equivalents by application to a range of power system configurations commencing with a simple model for a generating station and extending it through a composite generation and transmission network.
