A Frequency amd Duration Approach for Interconnected System Reliability Evaluation

This paper presents a complete set of algorithms for incorporating a multi-state generating unit into an existing capacity model. These algorithms then provide a basic approach to interconnected system reliability evaluation. The potential ability of one system to accommodate the capacity deficiency of the interconnected system is utilized to develop a fictitious multi-state unit which can be added to the assisted system. This model includes the constraints and parameters of the tie lines interconnecting the two systems.
