Learning outcomes

The course shall give knowledge in using reliability assessment as a tool for decision support for planning and operation of the electric power system. After completed course the participants shall achieved knowledge to:

  • Describe the fundamental definitions end concepts for reliability assessment
  • Analyze a system using the following techniques for reliability assessment:
  • Network modelling
  • Component importance techniques
  • Markov modelling
  • Lifetime models
  • Analyze an electrical distribution system with the above described methods using the RADPOW and NEPLAN tools
  • Knowledge on how reliability is treated by the network performance assessment model (NPAM).
  • Formulate an Life cycle cost model (LCC)
  • Formulate a reliability centred maintenance plan following fundamentals of RCM and knowledge in more advanced methods like RCAM.

Course main content

This course shows on quantitative methods to analyze and prevent risks of failure in electrical power systems, and shows on practical examples.

The lectures are concentrated to three parts of each three full days, and a final seminar. The course includes the following activities:

  • Project work
  • Lectures
  • Invited lectures
  • Home assignment
  • Computer lab
  • Written exam
  • Seminar with presentation of project reports
