An Approximate and Practical Approach Including Uncertainty Concepts in Generating Capacity Reliablity Evaluation

This paper presents an approximate but practical method based on Fourier transform techniques for evaluating the significance of uncertainty associated with the basic system parameters on the LOLE index of single area systems. The method utilizes a continuous representation of a generating capacity model. The IEE Reliability Test System is used not only to illustrate the method but also to compare it with other existing methods used for considering system uncertainty.
