Abstract :
The paper presents a method for computing exactly the frequency and duration of load loss events as measures of generating system reliability. The method utilizes an exact state capacity model together with a cumulative state load model which requires no idealization. Efficient computer algorithms for building the exact state capacity model and computing the system reliability indices are presented.
