Abstract :
The industry-wide Power Delivery Reliability Initiative, which the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) launched in February 2000, is addressing reliability issues that accompany the industry´s transition to an open energy marketplace. The initiative has developed tools to identify weak points in an interconnected transmission system, applying a practical probabilistic process for assessing grid reliability under deregulation. The initiative introduced near-term operational tools that have helped system operators better handle the summer of 2000, and will be of great aid in the summer of 2001 as well
