This paper discusses a number of aspects of operational-risk assessment of transmission systems, operational-risk assessment uses techniques developed from reliability analysis to predict the performance of the transmission system during a short period of time (several hours) starting from a well-defined operational state. The influence of weather parameters on the momentary failure rate and the operational...
This paper describes the mid-continent area power pool (MAPP) transmission equipment outage data collection scheme and presents bulk transmission line average outage statistics for forced outage category for the 230 kV and above systems computed using the data for the ten-year operating period from 1991 to 2000. In addition, a causal and seasonal contribution to forced outages of bulk transmission...
Heuristic methods have demonstrated the potential to and good feasible solutions, but not necessarily optimal. The success of such methods is related to their ability of avoiding local minima by exploring the basic structure of each particular problem. These methods can provide high quality solutions, within an acceptable CPU time, even for large-scale problems. This paper presents a new methodology...
This paper presents a new methodology for assessing both reliability and well-being indices for composite generation and transmission systems. Firstly, a transmission network reduction is applied to find an equivalent for assessing composite reliability for practical large power systems. After that, in order to classify the operating states, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) based on Group Method...
This paper describes a probabilistic approach for assessing the criticality of bulk transmission system components in the de-regulated electricity market. The proposed method is based on the analysis performed by the Hydro One probabilistic composite system evaluation program and use of a simplified reliability model for the transmission system network. The method accounts for random failures of system...
The original method of switchyard types optimization for transmission network (330 and 110 kV) is structured in the article reviewing the following aspects: 1) the principle of the method; 2) switchyard's reliability criteria; 3) algorithm of criteria calculation. This method and algorithm are appropriate for switchyard types optimization of transmission network, applying pilot technology LDM-T&G'08.
There is growing interest in designing and applying deterministic techniques that include probabilistic considerations in order to assess increased system stress due to the restructured electricity environment. The overall reliability framework proposed in this paper incorporates the deterministic N-1 criterion in a probabilistic framework, and results in the joint inclusion of both adequacy and static...
The transmission system is becoming ever more complex. Furthermore, demand for reliable supply of electricity is growing, increasing the need for a higher level of system reliability. A solution might be to incorporate controllable power components within the system. One such component is the HVDC link. However, in the domain of reliability models for HVDC and the component's impact on the overall...
This paper presents a reliability assessment of the HVDC converter transformer system (CTS) comparing different component models and configurations. The CTS model is based on the Markov modelling approach, which is shown to be well suited for these relatively small systems. The failure rate data in the models is based on statistical surveys by OGRE. A number of scenarios are calculated in order to...
This paper presents a probabilistic reliability planning method for transmission systems. The core of the method is the quantified reliability evaluation technique, which is based on Monte Carlo simulation for transmission and generation and an analytical multiple-state model for an HVDC system. The planning procedure includes comparison among reinforcement alternatives, effect study of retired components,...
