Abstract

The persistent and transient-cause forced outages and interruptions of utility power systems are subject to two kinds of uncertainties; the exact time of occurrence of outages is not known and the pdf of outage times is partially known or unknown. This paper obtains the utility and stand-by electric power system reliability by using Bayesian adaptive techniques. Cases of perfect switching, imperfect switching and idling stand-by are given.
