Abstract :
The abnormal events that seriously impact an electric utility´s operational ability to provide reasonable customer service must be removed from the calculation of reliability indices, and be reviewed individually. This will allow an accurate indication of both the system´s reliability trend and the ability of the system to respond to abnormal events. Different processes, management talent, workforce efforts, and leadership are required to respond to these two types of reliability impacts. Different reviews are also required.
