TL;DR: In this article, an enhanced test system (RTS-96) is described for use in bulk power system reliability evaluation studies, which will permit comparative and benchmark studies to be performed on new and existing reliability evaluation techniques.

TL;DR: In this paper, a costbenefit approach that quantifies the reliability benefits of alternatives in terms of the reduction in costs resulting from unserved energy enables the evaluation of generation and transmission capacity additions on a consistent, economic basis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the application of a conditional probability approach to the determination of load point reliability indices in practical systems is discussed and illustrated by a simple hypothetical system study, where failure at a bus is defined by three planning criteria and the reliability level obtained in terms of a probability and an expected frequency of bus failure.

TL;DR: The conditional probability approach described earlier by the authors is extended to include Markov models of load and component states to help evaluate transmission system reliability evaluation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of the IEEE Application of Probability Methods Subcommittee's efforts to compile a useful set of terms and procedures for consistent reporting of BPS delivery point reliability.
