Course Introduction
Power Systems
This course presents the basic concepts, topics, and indices, outage models of system components, phenomenon, and three specific issues in probabilistic system operation reliability assessment. Operation reliability of Power Systems includes adequacy and security evaluations for real-time operation from a few minutes to half an hour and operation planning from half an hour up to year. There are fundamental differences between reliability assessments for operation and long-term system planning.
The main features in operation reliability assessment are illustrated, and 13 topics in this course are explained. The indices for system operation reliability can be classified into three categories: the indices of system operation states, limit violations, and system operation risks. The major challenges in system operation reliability assessment include probabilistic simulations of various operational measures, remedial actions, and system dynamics at different timescales, as well as special requirements in input data and computing speed.
Probabilistic reliability assessment of power system operation is an important task for power system researchers and engi- neers today and in the future. This course will refresh the knowledge of specialists from the power industry in reliability con- cepts and applications, present state of the art, methodologies and allow them learning from problem solving and group discussions. The course gives most recent perspectives on all aspects related to reliability assessments and security of the power system in the ever changing world of intermittent generation, flexible demand and power electronics.
