Power System Reliability
• The primary function of an electric power system is
to provide electrical energy to its customers as
economically as possible and with an acceptable
degree of continuity and quality.

• In general; ‘reliability’ is the overall ability of a


system to perform its function, adequately(sufficient
facilities) and with security(respond to dynamic and
transient disturbances arising within the system).

Basic Probability Theories
Example (series system)
The probability of motor M and pump P being in operating state are; 0.9
and 0.8 respectively. What is the system probability of success (reliability),
given that these events are independent.

M P

P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B) (A & B are independent)

P {system success} = 0.9 x 0.8 = 0.72

In general, for series system:


n
P {system success} =
∏ Pi
i =1
where; Pi is the probability of ith component success.

Basic Probability Theories
Example (parallel system)
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B) (A & B are independent)
In the following parallel
redundant system, 1
component 1 and 2 have
independent probability of
failures 0.2 and 0.3,
respectively. What is the 2
probability of this system to
operate successfully?
P {system failure} = P(1 fail ∩ 2 fail) = P(1 fail) x P(2 fail) = 0.06
P {system success} = 1 – P {system failure} = 0.94 given that only
two system states exist.
In general, for series system:
n
P {system failure} = ∏Q
i =1
i where; Qi is the probability of ith component failure.

Application of Conditional Probability
P(SM) SM : System Mode
Example:

Let’s Xi’s be two mutually exclusive events, i.e. system success (ss) and system
failure (sf ).
Consider the series system;
M P

P(ss) = P{ss|M is good} × PM + P{ss|M is bad} × QM


= PP × PM + 0 × QM PM & QM are probabilities of
= PP × PM Motor success and failure

P(sf) = P{sf|M is good} × PM + P{sf|M is bad} × QM


= QP × PM + 1 × QM
PP & QP are probabilities of
= QP × (1 – QM) + QM Pump success and failure
= QP + QM – QpQM

P(SM) SM : System Mode
Example:
Let’s Bi’s be two mutually exclusive events, i.e. system success (ss) and system
failure (sf).
1
Consider the parallel redundant
system;

2
P(ss) = P{ss|1 is good} × P1 + P{ss|1 is bad} × Q1
= 1 × P1 + P2 × Q1 P1 & Q1 are probabilities of
= P1 + P2(1 – P1) Comp1 success and failure
= P1 + P2 – P1 P2

P(sf) = P{sf|1 is good} × P1 + P{sf|1 is bad} × Q1


P2 & Q2 are probabilities of
= 0 × P1 + Q1Q2 Comp2 success and failure
= Q1Q2

Application of Conditional Probability
Example on more complex system: A C

E
Consider the following system;
B D
E is good E is bad

A C A C

B D B D

P(ss) = P{ss|E is good} × PE + P{ss|E is bad} × QE


= {(1 – QAQB)(1 – QCQD)} × PE + {1 – (1 – PAPC)(1 – PBPD)} × QE
If all components have the same probability of success as P,
then;
P(ss) = 2P2 + 2P3 – 5P4 + 2P5
And if P = 0.99 then; P(ss) = 0.999798
