Description
Summary:Several new techniques for reliability evaluation of multi-
area interconnected power systems are developed in this
dissertation. The first of these is the improvement of the
basic decomposition process for reducing the computational
time and memory requirements. This new method, named as
Preferential Decomposition, is 3-5 times faster and leads to
50 to several hundred times reduction in memory requirements
compared to the Simultaneous Decomposition-Simulation (SIDES)
method. The second contribution comes from the development
of efficient implementation techniques for reliability
evaluation using both SIDES and Preferential Simultaneous
Decomposition-Simulation (PRESIDES) methods. Thirdly,
'jointly owned units are incorporated into the SIDES method
very efficiently. Finally, three parallelization topologies
are proposed and implemented on NCUBE and Sequent Balance
parallel computers along with two random number generation
schemes on parallel processors. The most important
characteristic of one random number generation scheme is that
it gives results identical to the uni-processor computers
irrespective of the number of parallel processors used.
All the methodologies developed are tested using IEEE-RTS
(Reliability Test System).system. Further research
topics are recommended.
