This paper develops a new index to rank the contingencies in different partitioned areas of networks. The new index considers the social and economic impacts of the contingencies and ranks them by using an overall index that combines these effects with technical factors. This overall index is implemented in the Western Systems Coordinating Council (WSCC) system. Load flow is run in different sc...

The well-known process capability index CPK has been popularly used in the manufacturing industry for measuring process reproduction capability. Existing research papers related to CPK have assumed with no gauge measurement errors. Unfortunately, such assumption does not reflect real situations accurately even with highly sophisticated advanced measuring instruments. Conclusions drawn from proc...

This paper proposes an index called net load carrying capability (NLCC) to evaluate the contribution of a generating unit to the flexibility of a power system. NLCC is defined as the amount by which the load can be increased when a generating unit is added to the system, while still maintaining the flexibility of the system. This index is based on the flexibility index termed ramping capability...

Process capability indices (PCIs), Cp, Ca, Cpk, Cpm, and Cpmk have been developed in certain manufacturing industry as capability measures based on various criteria, including process consistency, process departure from a target, process yield, and process loss. It is noted in certain recent quality assurance and capability analysis works that the three indices, Cpk, Cpm, and Cpmk provide the s...
