Power System Reliability

The course gives an introduction to the main principles and objectives of power system reliability and security of supply analysis: Basic terms and definitions, applications, overview of methodologies for contingency analysis and reliability analysis, security of supply analysis, reliability models, input data (from fault statistics), reliability indicators, and state-of-the-art. Further, select-few topics from the following are covered in detail: Contingency analysis, reliability analysis of generation, transmission and distribution systems, and security of supply. Final curriculum will be determined by course start.

Knowledge: After completing the course, the student shall have a thorough understanding of the main principles in power system reliability analysis and security of supply analysis as well as knowledge of different methods and tools for reliability analysis and security of supply analysis. Skills After completing the course, the student shall be able to model and analyse electric power systems with respect to reliability of supply and security of supply.

Lectures, exercises, self-tuition of selected literature, presentations. The course is usually given every second year. Please contact the course coordinator for more details.
