SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASSESSING RELIABILITY OF ELECTRICAL POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS

摘要

Systems and methods for assessing reliability of electrical power transmission systems are provided. Embodiments disclosed herein use Outage Impact Index (OII), a new reliability indicator, to identify periodic (e.g., annual) system risks in transmission systems of a bulk power system (BPS) for a given voltage class. OII provides key performance indices which can be used by power utilities to quantify and assess transmission system performance, establish baselines from chronological trends, and minimize system risks by developing corrective measures to address any identified system issues.
