RAMS assessment approach of self-consistent energy system in highway service areas

Abstract Self-consistent energy system (SCES) that integrates volatile renewable energy, challenges power operation of highway service areas. How to evaluate its resilience and efficiency is a key issue for the entire SCES. In this paper, we investigate assessment approach Based on electricity consumption model consisting different functional sections SCES in areas, by deriving corresponding three-level indicators from sections, propose new four aspects: reliability, availability, maintainability, safety (RAMS). Simulation results show proposed can comprehensively accurately assess RAMS SCES, provides data support improving gives guide development
