Currently in Brazil, long-term (horizon 20 to 30 years) and short-term (15 years horizon) energy expansion planning studies are carried out under the coordination of the Ministry of Mines and Energy. More recently the Federal Government has decided to carry out mid-term studies (15 years horizon). For long-term and short-term studies are adopted the computational models MELP and NEWAVE, respectively...
A methodology for calculating the exact sensitivity of multi-area reliability indices with respect to variations in equipment failure and repair rates is described. The system is initially decomposed into failure modes, which are then analytically integrated to simultaneously produce the reliability indices and their sensitivities. The methodology is easy to implement on existing reliability evaluation...
