Abstract :
The calculation of the reliability of an electric-power facility by mean time between failures (MTBF) or failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) methods is extensive and expensive. A heuristic method is proposed in which one-or-more electric-power facilities are compared with an ideal system for that facility. A scoring method for the features of the ideal system provides a numerical rating for each alternative
