Reliability & Operational Performance of Electric Power Systems

Reliability & Operational Performance of Electric Power Systems Course is essential for professionals navigating today’s competitive electricity market, where reliability, performance, and cost-efficiency are more important than ever. As power systems evolve, increasing competition across generation, transmission, and distribution requires operators and planners to understand how reliability indicators influence system behaviour and customer service levels. This Reliability of Electric Power Systems Training Course provides a clear, practical foundation for evaluating reliability and maintaining safe and dependable power delivery.

Through this Reliability & Operational Performance of Electric Power Systems Course, participants explore why traditional deterministic criteria are no longer adequate in complex, interconnected modern grids. Instead, probabilistic modelling has become crucial for assessing uncertainties, customer behaviours, equipment performance, and system contingencies. The course explains the tools, methods, and indices required to perform accurate reliability evaluations and to make informed operational and planning decisions.

This Reliability of Electric Power Systems Training Course also addresses the need for robust computational methods—both analytical and simulation-based—to analyse reliability challenges in real-world systems. Participants review case studies from practical power network environments and learn how to interpret reliability results that impact system development, reinforcement planning, and operational strategy within competitive energy markets. By combining theoretical foundations with applied techniques, the course equips professionals with the skills required to manage reliability expectations and optimise system performance.

This Reliability of Electric Power Systems Training Course builds a strong understanding of the probabilistic techniques needed to evaluate and enhance system performance. Participants learn why reliability indices play a critical role in quantifying customer service levels, system security, and the ability of power networks to withstand failures. The course incorporates both analytical and simulation approaches to ensure participants gain practical competence in assessing real-world systems.

By the end of this Reliability & Operational Performance of Electric Power Systems training course, participants will be able to:

• Determine key power system areas that require probabilistic modelling and evaluation
• Understand the features of computational methods used for reliability modelling
• Identify and calculate essential reliability indices for load points and system performance
