25339: Power Systems Reliability
Course Name: Power Systems Reliability
Course Number: 25339
Prerequisite(s): 25333 (Power System Analysis 2)
Co-requisite(s): -
Units: 3
Level: Postgraduate
Last Revision: Summer 2018

Description
In this course, principles of reliability and the methods of calculation will be presented in detail. Reliability in generation systems and how to identify the reserve generation capacity also are other items that will be discussed. Effects of probable crisis in a network such as outage of generation units or outage of transmission lines are the factors that are important in identifying the reserve capacity. In this course, the indices and criteria of reliability in distribution systems will also be introduced.
 
Syllabus:
  • Review on the reliability of engineering systems theory
  • Review on reliability of engineering systems-application
  • Review on the reliability of generation systems-calculation methods
  • Reliability indices of generation systems
  • Programming of generation systems based on reliability indices
  • Reliability in continuous systems
  • Operation and evaluation of reserve capacity in power systems
  • Reliability in compound power systems (generation and transmission)
  • Reliability in distribution systems (radius networks)
  • Reliability in distribution substations (convoluted networks)
