Problem 1
A generation system in area A has three identical 50 MW units with the following capacity outage table.
A system planner decided to install one generating unit to this area with a failure rate of λ and a repair
rate of μ. Use unit addition algorithm to find updated capacity outage table.
Problem 2
Find the reserve model for the example given in today’s lecture.
Problem 3
Determine the failure rate, unavailability in hours per year, and mean down time in hours at all load
point in the distribution network below.
Component Failure rates (failure per year) Mean repair time (hours)
a 0.20 5.0
b 0.15 6.0
c 0.10 4.0
d 0.10 4.0
e 0.15 6.0
f 0.01 100
g 0.01 100
