Probing the new IEEE Reliability Test System (RTS-96): HL-II assessment

Abstract

This paper presents a set of investigations into the bulk reliability performance evaluation of the new IEEE Reliability Test System (RTS-96). Several bulk reliability system indices representing a hierarchical level two (HL-II) assessment of the new system are provided. The full representation including three areas is analyzed and all results are based on AC flows evaluations considering corrective remedial actions. The assessment tool was the NH-2 program.
