Abstract
Frequency and Duration analysis provides a practical method for reliability evaluation of generation system configurations. The primary indices of interest are the cumulative probability and frequency of a load loss situation. This approach uses the individual generating unit mean failure and repair rates in addition to the forced outage probability values and therefore the developed indices are sensitive to all of these values.
This thesis illustrates the inclusion of derating levels of large generating units in the capacity models and how this approach can be extended to the analysis of interconnected systems. Different load models and the effect of load forecast uncertainty are examined. The -thesis further considers the effect of transmission constraints on the generation system.
A general computer program which includes all these considerations is presented. This program has been used to conduct a comprehensive set of studies on the recently published IEEE Reliability Test System. These studies are outlined in the thesis.
