The power delivery reliability seminar covers a number of introductory and advanced power delivery reliability topics. The seminar covers basic reliability concepts, reliability analysis, reliability enhancement and reliability prediction.
Basic reliability concepts to be covered include component reliability, system reliability, service reliability, service reliability measurement, partial interruptions and voltage sags. Reliability analysis topics to be covered include outage analysis, service reliability analysis, data collection, reliability improvement opportunity targeting and reliability backcasting. Reliability enhancement topics include outage frequency reduction strategies, outage duration reduction strategies, and customer impact reduction strategies. Reliability prediction topics include failure rate and fault rate predictions, outage and restoration simulation, outage to interruption mapping, deterministic service reliability prediction methods and probabilistic service reliability prediction methods. The seminar also includes a reliability analysis and enhancement group exercise.
