Transitioning the electric power sector to rely more on wind and solar photovoltaics (WPV) has long been cited as a potential solution reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions associated with fossil fuel electricity production. An under-explored implication of this transition, however, is whether increasing amount net generation supplied by WPV negatively impacts system reliability? In paper, ...

The reliability of a power system is considered as critical requirement in planning and operating the due to increasing demand for more reliable service with lower frequency duration interruption. Hence, also major challenge development future systems they become advanced complex, making accuracy assessment dependent on several factors such supply load modeling. Recent studies systems’ stabilit...

preventive maintenance scheduling of generating units is addressed as a long-term scheduling in power system studies aiming to increase the reliability incorporating cost reduction. it consists of knowing which generating units should be shut down for regular safety inspection. in this paper, a new formulation of preventive maintenance scheduling associated with cost reduction index (cri) is pr...

Large tropical cyclones cause severe damage to major cities along the United States Gulf Coast annually. A diverse collection of engineering and statistical models are currently used to estimate the geographical distribution of power outage probabilities stemming from these hurricanes to aid in storm preparedness and recovery efforts. Graph theoretic studies of power networks have separately at...

The global wind power industry involves operations in highly stochastic environments and thus faces challenges in enhancing reliability and reducing maintenance costs. Earlier studies related to wind energy facility reliability and maintenance focused more on qualitative aspects, discussing the unique influencing factors in wind power operations and their effects on the system performance. With...
