SBIR: Power System Reliability Screening Analysis

这项研究涉及对大型复杂电力系统进行可靠性评估的方法的发展。初步分析表明，与现有技术相比，该方法具有很高的计算效率。这种方法的可用性将使公用事业规划者能够分析更多的替代工厂扩建和系统条件，最大限度地减少忽视有利选择的可能性，并做出更安全的权衡，以避免局部最小陷阱。

This research involves the development of a method for making reliability assessments for large complex electric power systems. Preliminary analysis has shown that the method is very computationally efficient compared to existing techniques. Availability of this method would enable utility planners to analyze larger numbers of alternative plant expansions and system conditions, minimizing the possibility of overlooking favorable options and making more secure tradeoffs that avoid local minima traps.
