470 Reliability Of Electric Power Systems (3)
Principles of reliability as applied to Power Systems with an overview of
current methods to measure reliability of Power Systems are introduced.
Analytical and Monte Carlo models for component state and system state
duration, with contingency analysis and linear programming for optimal power
flow are also covered. Restoration times and cost assessment after component or
system failures due to internal or external problems provide focus to practical
operating principles. Prerequisite: ECE 460, CS 394R or equivalent.
