Composite System Adequacy Assessment

The basic objective of composite generation and transmission system adequacy assessment (HL2) is to evaluate the ability of the system to satisfy the load and energy requirements at the major load points. This evaluation domain involves the joint reliability problem of generating sources and transmission facilities and is sometimes called bulk system analysis. Although this activity came much later than comparably significant developments in HL1 evaluation, considerable effort has been devoted to this area over the last 25 years.(1–7)
