Abstract :
The Composite System Reliability Working Group (CSRWG) of the Mid-Continent Area Power Pool (MAPP) and its predecessors have collected outage data for MAPP bulk transmission equipment of 230 kV and higher since 1977. Pool-wide MAPP-United States (MAPP-US) performance statistics are computed and reported annually. These statistics can be used by utilities in different applications in areas related to system performance, operations, maintenance and planning. This paper presents features of the MAPP transmission outage data collection system, selected outage statistics for the 1991-2000 period and applications of outage performance statistics by MAPP utilities
