  2. Loss of load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_of_load

    Loss of load in an electrical grid is a term used to describe the situation when the available generation capacity is less than the system load. [1] Multiple probabilistic reliability indices for the generation systems are using loss of load in their definitions, with the more popular [2] being Loss of Load Probability (LOLP) that characterizes a probability of a loss of load occurring within ...

  3. Load-loss factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load-loss_factor

    Multiple empirical formulae exist that relate the loss factor to the load factor (Dickert et al. in 2009 listed nine [5]). Similarly, the ratio between the average and the peak current is called form coefficient k [ 6 ] or peak responsibility factor k ; [ 7 ] its typical value is between 0.2 and 0.8 for distribution networks and between 0.8 and ...

  4. Erlang (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erlang_(unit)

    The Erlang B formula (or Erlang-B with a hyphen), also known as the Erlang loss formula, is a formula for the blocking probability that describes the probability of call losses for a group of identical parallel resources (telephone lines, circuits, traffic channels, or equivalent), sometimes referred to as an M/M/c/c queue. [5]

  5. Reliability index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability_index

    loss of load probability (LOLP) reflects the probability of the demand exceeding the capacity in a given interval of time (for example, a year) before any emergency measures are taken. It is defined as a percentage of time during which the load on the system exceeds its capacity;

  6. Failure rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_rate

    As CDFs are defined by integrating a probability density function, the failure probability density is defined such that: Exponential probability functions, often used as the failure probability density f ( t ) {\displaystyle f(t)} .

  7. Value of lost load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_of_lost_load

    The Value of Lost Load (VoLL) is the estimated amount that customers receiving electricity with firm contracts would be willing to pay to avoid a disruption in their electricity service. [1] The value of these losses can be expressed as a customer damage function (CDF). A CDF is defined [2] as: Loss ($/kW) = ƒ (duration, season, time of day ...

  8. Structural reliability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_reliability

    where is the probability of failure, () is the cumulative distribution function of resistance (R), and () is the probability density of load (S).. However, in most cases, the distribution of loads and resistances are not independent and the probability of failure is defined via the following more general formula.

  9. Balls into bins problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balls_into_bins_problem

    Each user would of course like to select the least loaded computer, but this requires to check the load on each computer, which might take a long time. Another option is to select a computer at random; this leads, with high probability, to a maximum load of ⁡ ⁡ ⁡ (+ ()). A possible compromise is that the user will check only two computers ...
