Reliability, availability and maintainability study for failure analysis in series capacitor bank

摘要

In this research, the objective is introducing the fundamentals of reliability analysis, it has been applied to the planning and design of Series Capacitor (SC) Bank, applied for power lines. It considers the cost of power outages, the decision process for new and existing power equipment in several systems, as well as the ability to make quantitative analysis "Cost - Vs. - Reliability" trade-off studies. The lack of credible data concerning equipment reliability and the cost of power outages has hindered engineers in making such studies.
