Mission: Reliability

Power system "operating reliability" is at the core of responsibilities that have been entrusted by French law to the Reseau de Transport d\´Electricite (RTE), in its capacity as France\´s transmission system operator (TSO). The Power System Reliability Audit Mission is responsible for two main complementary activities: 1) carrying out power system reliability audits and 2) drafting of a yearly power system reliability report. In this section we present the principles, on which the control of system reliability is based, the procedure for creating the yearly reliability report, the procedure for the elaboration of the reliability audit plan, and the procedures governing the reliability audits.
