ADEQUACY ASSESSMENT OF SMALL ISOLATED POWER SYSTEMS USING A WELL-BEING APPROACH

摘要

In spite of the widespread applications of probabilistic criteria in large systems there is considerable reluctance to apply probabilistic techniques in small isolated power systems. This reluctance dictates a need to create a bridge between the conventional deterministic methods and the prevalent probabilistic techniques. This paper presents a well-being approach to illustrate the adequacy assessment of small isolated power systems. A well-being index designated as LOHE and the conventional LOLE index are utilized to determine the maximum load carrying capability in two isolated systems.
