Considerations necessary for the design of a total control system for the improvement of the reliability of the generation-transmission system are discussed. The control system is made of automatic functions, human participation, and an informa-

Deregulation policy has caused some changes in the concepts of power system reliability assessment. This paper deals with generation reliability evaluation in perfect competition power market using market economic concepts and its dynamic. Also, because of power markets and generators’ forced outages stochastic behavior, Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) is used in this research. Generation reliabil...

this paper presents an application of benders decomposition to deal with the complexities in the simultaneous generation expansion planning (gep) and transmission expansion planning (tep). unlike the power system operation fields of study, the power system planning methods are not expected to be fast. however, it is always preferable to speed up computations to provide more analysis options for...

Software reliability modeling is a successful attempt to give quantitative measures of software systems. In the broadest sense, security is one of the aspects of reliability. A system is likely to be more reliable if it is more secure. One of the pioneering efforts to integrate security and reliability is [2]. In this paper, these similarities between security and reliability were observed. Sec...

In this study, the application of Bayes networks and fault tree analysis in reliability estimation have been investigated. Fault tree analysis is one of the most widely used methods for estimating reliability. In recent years, a method called "Bayes Network" has been used, which is a dynamic method, and information about the probable failure of the system components will be updated according to...

fuzzy set based methods have been proved to be effective in handling many types of uncertainties in different fields, including reliability engineering. this paper presents a new approach on fuzzy reliability, based on the use of beta type distribution as membership function. considering experts' ideas and by asking operators linguistic variables, a rule base is designed to determine the level ...

This paper develops a method for nodal pricing and market clearing mechanism considering reliability of the system. The effects of components reliability on electricity price, market participants’ profit and system social welfare is considered. This paper considers reliability both for evaluation of market participant’s optimality as well as for fair pricing and market clearing mechanism. To ac...
