Bulk system reliability-predictive indices

The second stage is described of an activity centered on identifying techniques and approaches for monitoring, measuring, predicting and applying reliability indices in the planning and operation of power systems. The present work identifies predictive indices that can be calculated, the degree to which they are calculated and used in practice, the commonality or lack of it between utilities, the perceived problems with their calculation or practical use, the limitations due to lack of data, computer resources and management understanding, and other related aspects.<
