✦ Synopsis

This paper evaluates the reliability of a three-area power system. It considers a new algorithm to determine the amount of MW assistance available to a deficient area in a power pool. The algorithm considers the area of interest and its neighboring areas in terms of their two-area reliability and then extends the results to the multi-area system. The linear flow model is used to calculate the energy supply to the importing area in the power pool, where the tie lines may impose limits on import-export capabilities. This approach does not set any restrictions as to how the areas may be interconnected.
