Reliability Evaluation of Power Systems

Power systems must supply customers with a reasonable assurance of continuity and quality. This volume evaluates the difference concepts, models, and techniques used to measure the reliability of power systems, in both the planning and operation phases. The subject is treated in practical engineering terms without unnecessary resource to advanced mathematics. Frequent numerical examples illustrate the applications of the techniques presented in the text. All areas of power systems are provided comprehensive coverage. This book is sequel to Reliability Evaluation of Engineering systems, second edition, by the same authors. It will be of particular interest and value to engineers and managers associated with planning, design, and operation of power systems.
