Are reliability measures unreliable? [Power Generation]
2006 IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting, 2006For several years the term commercial availability (CA) has become increasingly used as the primary reliability metric of generating plants, replacing such traditional measures such as equivalent availability and equivalent forced outage rate. This is because CA more closely relates the plant's performance to its effect on the company's cost (or ...

Reliable generator islanding detection for industrial power consumers with on-site generation
2014 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Technical Conference (PCIC), 2014Large power consumers often have on-site generation. If the utility tie opens, it is essential to isolate the on-site generators to prevent generator equipment damage before the utility attempts to reclose in a possible out-of-synchronism condition.

Incorporating wind power in generating system reliability evaluation
International Journal of Systems Assurance Engineering and Management, 2010Wind is regarded as an important energy source, and its integration into existing electric power systems dominated by conventional generating sources introduces many technical and business challenges. One important technical challenge is to incorporate wind power reliability considerations in the reliability assessment techniques presently used by ...

Research on Reliability Evaluation of Power Generation System with Solar Thermal Power
2020 5th Asia Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering (ACPEE), 2020The reliability assessment of hybrid power generation systems with new energy is of great significance for optimizing energy allocation. At present, most of the researches on reliability assessment focus on wind power, photovoltaics and their hybrid power generation, but there is little research on the reliability assessment of hybrid power generation ...

Reliability planning for solar electric power generation
Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 1980Abstract Planning for electric power system reliability requires strategic changes when large-scale use of solar electric generation technologies is contemplated. Bulk storage will be required in any long-term evolution of power systems that are dominated by baseload central station plants.

Reliability evaluation of generation systems with solar power
2014 International Conference on Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems (PMAPS), 2014Conventional power generators are fueled by natural gas, steam, or water flow. These generators can respond to load changes by varying the fuel input by a valve control. Renewable power generators such as wind or solar, however, are not controllable since their fuel sources are intermittent in nature.

A generalized power system reliability and security index
PowerTech Budapest 99. Abstract Records. (Cat. No.99EX376), 2003This paper develops a risk-based general index reflecting power system reliability and security both directly and indirectly. Direct characteristics express the risk to not fully supply load. Indirect characteristics that address circuit overloads, voltage problems, low stability margins, etc., signal a reduced security/reliability margin.

Improving Power System Reliability using Distributed Wind Generation
2020 SoutheastCon, 2020Due to the increased dependence on the power grid, it is important to look for solutions that will relieve the grid from its increasing amount of stress. The reliability of the grid can be improved by adding distributed generation (DG) sources in various locations in it, which can potentially reduce the amount of power flowing in its transmission ...

Correlated Generator Failures and Power System Reliability
2019This thesis contributes new knowledge toward understanding the relationship between capacity procurement and power system reliability through rigorous analysis of generator-level availability data. In Chapter 2 I analyze four years of data (2012-2015) from the Generating Availability Data System (GADS) database maintained by the North American Electric

Improvement of the Power System Reliability by Prediction of Wind Power Generation
2007 IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting, 2007The integration of wind farms into the electricity grid has become an important challenge for the utilization and control of electric power systems, because of the fluctuating and intermittent behaviour of wind power generation. Wind power predictions improve the economical and technical integration of large capacities of wind energy into the existing ...
