ECE 558 - Spring 2021
Power System Reliability
Project 7 - Due 20 Apr 2021
- Two systems are interconnected by two 16 MW tie lines. System A
has four 30 MW generating units with forced outage rates of 10%.
System B has eight 15 MW generating units with forced outage rates of
8%. For each system, calculate the loss of load expectation in days
and the expected load curtailed in MW for a one-day period, given that the
peak load in both System A and System B is 100 MW and the tie lines
are 100% available.
- Repeat the analysis for the above problem, assuming that the tie
lines have failure rates of 5 failures/year and average repair times of
24 hours.
Deliverables
Main Campus students must submit their assignments on paper at the
beginning of the lecture. In addition, both Internet students and
Main Campus students must submit an electronic copy via SafeAssignment
on the ECE 558 Blackboard site BEFORE the beginning of class.
SafeAssign does not allow multiple files, so you'll need to find a way
to submit a single file, e.g., scanned images (PNG or JPEG) of
handwritten work can be inserted in a Word Document. MATLAB code, if
any, must appear in an appendix so that we can copy and paste your
code into an M-file to test it. MATLAB code must not be scanned; it
must be included as formatted text. See the "Blackboard SafeAssign"
link on the course home page for details on allowed file types.
Please make sure your file is less than 1 MB in size!
