  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 ...

  4. Power system reliability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_reliability

    A typical reliability index for the adequacy is the loss of load expectation (LOLE) of one event in 10 years (one-day-in-ten-years criterion). [5] Due to the possible need for the actual addition of physical capacity, adequacy planning is long term [5] (for example, PJM Interconnection requires capacity purchases to be 4 years in advance of ...

  5. 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 to 0.8 for distribution networks and 0.8 to 0.95 for ...

  6. Probabilistic design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probabilistic_design

    Statistical interference of distributions of applied load and material strength. Load applied and fracture stress are assumed to be normally distributed, and the failure probability is the overlap colored in grey. [1] Probabilistic design is a discipline within engineering design.

  7. Resource adequacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_adequacy

    Installed reserve margin (IRM) is the amount of the generating capacity in excess of the expected load, calculated to satisfy the loss of load expectation, typically 1 day in 10 years. [2] IRM is used to measure the adequacy of the generation capacity and serves as a guide to evaluate the needs for the capacity changes. [ 3 ]

  8. Power system simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_simulation

    For example we may wish to minimise transmission losses or minimise real power generation costs on a power network. Other power flow solution methods like stochastic optimization incorporate the uncertainty found in modeling power systems by using the probability distributions of certain variables whose exact values are not known.

  9. 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 ...
