Abstract

As described in Chapter 1, the generating system can be defined as hierarchical level I (HLI) since it forms the first or basic step in the overall planning of a power system. In order to evaluate the adequacy of HLI, it is necessary to assess the ability of the generating capacity to satisfy the system load with acceptable risk. Techniques for making this assessment were initiated in the 1930’s and have been continuously developed ever since. A fairly exhaustive set of relevant papers are listed in the bibliographies of References 1–4, 32 and the important evaluation techniques are documented in Reference 5. It is not the purpose of this chapter to reiterate these techniques. Instead it is intended to address several related aspects which have either been developed more recently, or which have not been treated adequately in this form before or in which the stress has changed due to more recent thinking and application. These aspects include analysis of the IEEE Reliability Test System (RTS), energy-based reliability indices, novel forms of generation and Monte Carlo simulation techniques.
