The technique for the seismic reliability evaluation of the electric power network is presented. In the previous study, the state of the substations was represented by the bi-state which is classified as failure or survival. However, the hi-state model can result in oversimplified analysis, because substations are worked by the parallel operating system. In this paper, Considering the characteristics of the parallel operating system, the damage of the substation is expressed by the multi-state for the more realistic seismic reliability evaluation. Using Monte-Carlo simulation method, the seismic reliability for Korean 345㎸ electric power network is evaluated. Analysis results show that reliability levels of the network by the multi-state analysis is higher than that by the hi-state analysis and the electric power network in southeastern area of the Korean Peninsular may be vulnerable to earthquakes.

Nowadays, according to gradual progress of the information oriented society, it is being increase rapidly that social requirement for the high quality and stability of electric power supply. Therefore, for the sake of expansion of the various power system and reasonable operation and administration, there are some growing need for telecommunication system that will operate in high dependability performance and expansion by much. But beause of unestablished reliability analysis and evaluation methodology for power telecommunication system, it could not have a reasonable planning for the purpose of improving dependability performance on telecommunication system. The object of this study is to construct reasonable methodology of reliability evaluation fur the efficient power telecommunication facility administration.

This paper presents a study on reliability assessment and new contribution function development of power system including Wind Turbine Generator(WTG) combined with Battery Energy Storage System(BESS). This paper develops and proposes new reliability contribution function of BESS installed at wind farms. The methodology of reliability assessment, using Monte Carlo Simulation(MCS) method to simulate sample state duration, is proposed in detail. Forced Outage Rate(FOR) considered probabilistic approach for conventional generators is modelled in this paper. The penetration of large wind power can make risk to power system adequacy, quality and stability. Although the fluctuation of wind power, BESS installed at wind farms may smooth the wind power fluctuation. Using small size system as similar as Jeju island power system, a case study of reliability evaluation and new proposed contribution function of power system containing WTG combined with BESS is demonstrated in this paper, which would contributes to BESS reliability contribution and assessment tools of actual power system in future.

This paper presents a method fer evaluation nodal probabilistic congestion and reliability indices of transmission systems using Monte Carlo simulation methods. Quantitative evaluation of transmission system reliability is very important because successful operation of an electric power system. In the deregulated electricity market depends on transmission system reliability management Monte Carlo methods are often preferable, when complex operating conditions are involved and/or the number of sever events is relatively large. To evaluate the reliability of a real power system, Monte Carlo Methods will be more useful. The characteristics and effectiveness of this methodology are illustrated by the case study using a small test system.

The Digital Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System (DESFAS) of nuclear power plants actuates safety systems to mitigate severe accidents occurred in nuclear power plants. The reliability of the system should be evaluated in order to meet the reliability criteria of nuclear power plants. In this work, we have calculated and evaluated the lifetime of DESFAS by using Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) and failure rates of digital control components. Surveillance test is assumed in the evaluation. The result shows that the digital control component can be used in DESFAS system.

The reliability evaluation of the electrical distribution networks (EDN) requires sufficient consideration of the effects of planned outages. The planned outages of the EDN can be divided, by outage models and their effects on the reliability into two major categories: by equipment and by feeder. After studying the characteristics of different categories of planned outages, this paper expands the classification of load points by outage time from 4 types to 7 types and defines corresponding reliability parameters for the different types. By using the section algorithm, this paper proposes a reliability evaluation technique of EDN considering equipment random failures and two categories of planned outages. The proposed technique has been applied to the RBTS-BUS6 test system and some practical EDNs in China. The study results demonstrate that the proposed technique is of higher practical value and can be used for evaluating the reliability performance of EDN more efficiently considering the planned outages.

The main objective of this paper is come up with methodology approach for FPGA-based system in verification and validation lifecycle regarding software reliability using system engineering approach. The steps of both reverse engineering and re-engineering are carried out to implement an FPGA-based of safety critical system in Nuclear Power Plant. The reverse engineering methodology is applied to elicit the requirements of the system as well as gain understanding of the current life cycle and V&V activities of FPGA based-system. The re-engineering method is carried out to get a new methodology approach of software reliability, particularly Software Reliability Growth Model. For measure the software reliability of a given FPGA-based system, the following steps are executed as; requirements definition and measurement, evaluation of candidate reliability model, and the validation of the selected system. As conclusion, a new methodology approach for software reliability measurement using software reliability growth model is developed.

This paper presents a method for constructing composite power system effective load duration curves(CMELDC) at load points by Monte Carlo method. The concept of effective load duration curves(ELDC) in power system planning is useful and important in both HLII. CMELDC can be obtained from convolution integral processing of the probability function of unsupplied power and the load duration curve at each load point. This concept is analogy to the ELEC in HLI. And, the reliability indices (LOLP, EDNS) for composite power system are evaluated using CMELDC. Differences in reliability levels between HLI and HLII come from considering with the uncertainty associated with the outages of the transmission system. It is expected that the CMELDC can be applied usefully to areas such as reliability evaluation, probabilistic production cost simulation and analytical outage cost assessment, etc. in HLII, DC load flow and Monte Carlo method are used for this study. The characteristics and effectiveness of thes methodology are illustrated by a case study of the IEEE RTS.

To Increase availability and to enhance the safety, the modernization of Instrumentation & Control (I&C) systems is considered. The extended use of the digital technology lets nuclear power plants(NPPs) to replace their old analog systems with some proven digital systems. To adapt digital equipment to plants effectively and systematically, however, there must be an essential prerequisite, which is to evaluate current I&C equipment. This paper shows a practical methodology to evaluate the current status and reliability of I&C systems of NPPs using Reliability Evaluation System(RES) before performing upgrades or replacements for systems. The proposed method was applied to KORI Unit 2. The proposed method shows the current status of operating I&C systems effectively for upgrading I&C systems.
