2. 1. Assessment of Interruption Costs in Electric Power Systems using the Weibull-Markov Mode

   Author : Jasper van Casteren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; semi-Markov model; interruption cost; power system reliability; customer damage function; duration distribution; reliability worth;

   Abstract : Modern competitive electricity markets do not ask for power systems with the highest possible technical perfection, but for systems with the highest possible economic efficiency. Higher efficiency can only be reached when accurate and flexible analysis tools are used. READ MORE

4. 2. Risk-based methods for reliability investments in electric power distribution systems

   Author : Karin Alvehag; Lennart Söder; Kjølle Gerd; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Distribution system reliability; risk management; quality regulation design; customer interruption costs; weather modeling; Monte Carlo simulations; Electric power engineering; Elkraftteknik;

   Abstract : Society relies more and more on a continuous supply of electricity. However, while underinvestments in reliability lead to an unacceptable number of power interruptions, overinvestments result in too high costs for society. READ MORE

5. 3. Maintenance optimization for power distribution systems

   Author : Patrik Hilber; Lina Bertling; Roland Eriksson; Lalit Goel; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Reliability Importance Index; Multiobjective Optimization; Maintenance Optimization; Asset Management; Customer Interruption Cost; Reliability Centred Maintenance RCM ; Reliability Centered Asset Management RCAM ; Monte Carlo Simulation; Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization.; Electric power engineering; Elkraftteknik;

   Abstract : Maximum asset performance is one of the major goals for electric power distribution system operators (DSOs). To reach this goal minimal life cycle cost and maintenance optimization become crucial while meeting demands from customers and regulators. READ MORE

6. 4. Impact of dependencies in risk assessments of power distribution systems

   Author : Karin Alvehag; Lennart Söder; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik;

   Abstract :  Society has become increasingly dependent on electricity, so power system reliability is of crucial importance. However, while underinvestment leads to an unacceptable number of power outages, overinvestment will result in costs that are too high for society. The challenge is to find a socioeconomically adequate level of risk. READ MORE

7. 5. Security of Electricity Supply in Power Distribution System : Optimization Algorithms for Reliability Centered Distribution System Planning

   Author : Sanja Duvnjak Zarkovic; Patrik Hilber; Ebrahim Shayesteh; George Anders; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : The importance of electricity in everyday life and demands to improve the reliability of distribution systems force utilities to operate and plan their networks in a more secure and economical manner. With higher demands on reliability from both customers and regulators, a big pressure has been put on the security of electricity supply which is considered as a fundamental requirement for modern societies.
