This paper investigates the effect of involving electric vehicles (EVs) in load profile on generation system. The impact was studied from a reliability perspective Saudi Arabia’s total system capacity as one source supplying expected for year 2030. EV then added. outcomes were examined considering gradual penetration percentage to load. indices measured are loss probability (LOLP) and energy no...

under the smart grid environments, demand response resources (drrs) as power system resources can effectively participate in and improve performance of electric systems. congestion management is one of the technical challenges in which drrs can play a significant role. previously, congestion management is applied without considering the power system uncertainties. therefore, a stochastic conges...

The aim of this study is to analyze the reliability modeling indices and to study the mechanical system of a thermal power plant. The reliability of a system, equipment and a product is very important aspect of quality for its consistence performance over its expected life span. In fact, uninterrupted service and hazard free operation is an essential requirement of large complex systems like el...

The structures of power systems and their capacity have been updated significantly from time to time. Therefore, a reliability analysis is an essential issue in the planning, designing, operation electric systems. Thus, number methods proposed. These are grouped as analytical based methods, simulation-based hybrid methods. Some like Monte Carlo, Markov etc., developed some indices such interrup...

The current human reliability analysis method of analyzing system operator’s reliability, carried out from the perspective of operators themselves, is relatively static, for it hasn’t taken the effect of system evolution on the operators’ performance into consideration. In view of operator reliability in digital control system in nuclear power plant, this paper, based on boolean network theory,...
