Abstract
A new approach is introduced for calculating the electrical network reliability indices, such as multi-state stationary availability, expected multi-state capacity, expected unsupplied demand, loss of load probability and total failed system probability. The universal moment generating function approach (UMGF) is used to evaluate the different reliability indices of the power system. In this paper we present a survey of recent work which treats the more sophisticated and realistic models in which components and systems may comprise many states ranging from perfect-working to complete failure. Such systems are multi-state (MSS) as they can have different levels of output performance. The objective is to determine the power structure which minimizes costs and satisfies reliability levels. A computer program has been developed to implement the UMGF technique, and an illustrative example is presented.
