Abstract
The evaluated reliability and quality measures, which are important to assess the reserve capabilities of the power system for various operating scenarios, are probabilistic in nature. To improve the reliability and quality of two area interconnected power systems must be to make sure that the ability of one area to deal with compensate the deficiency in the other area. This paper presents a novel assessment technique of two-area interconnected power system based on the reliability and quality measures, as well as, the capacity and situation of tie line and the Load Not-Served (LNS). Systems with hundreds of buses and tens of complex stations can only be analyzed using advanced and numerically effective large-scale algorithms for reliability and quality assessment as demonstrated in this paper. Practical applications are additionally exhibited, for demonstration purposes, to the Saudi electricity power networks.
