This series of three tutorial articles is intended to create a general awareness of power system reliability and the factors affecting it, to unveil some of the mysteries that prevail with regard to reliability, to indicate the underlying concepts concerning its assessment and application, and to show how it relates to economic constraints. This first article considers the general background and the assessment of generating capacity. The second and third articles will be published in later issues of the Journal.

Inspec keywords: power systems; reliability; electric power generation; probability

Other keywords: probabilistic criteria; power system reliability; generation expansion planning; peak load effect; modelling approach; generation facilities; generation capacity requirements; probabilistic indices

Subjects: Maintenance and reliability; Generating stations and plants; Reliability
