Reliability computations for interconnected generating systems via large deviation approximation

Abstract

The use of the large-deviation approximation is discussed for computing the reliability of two generating systems having correlated loads and interconnected by a transmission tie-line of a given capacity. The necessary formulas are derived and applied to a prototype two-area system model. Numerical results show that the proposed approximation is quite accurate. Information is provided on the speed of the algorithm.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
