Reliability Assessment using Monte Carlo method of Iraqi Power Grid

Abstract

  Now day's reliability evaluation of bulk power generation using many techniques is helpful engineers to assess indices of real system to feed customers with reliable power service. In this paper, the Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) presented to find three indices (LOLP, LOLE, ENS) applying outage conditions and failure events of generators for Iraqi 400 kV grid. The carryout of MCS simulated results compared with analytical approach.
