Statistical Analysis of Power System Faults May99-15 Senior Design Project

Abstract

With the beginning of deregulation and its effects being felt throughout the power production and transmission system a new way of power line loading needs to be considered.  With the current market pressure that is slowing down and even halting new transmission construction severely limiting the utilities access to wheeling large blocks of power.  So the current conservative values of line maximums needs to be reconsidered to determine if a new standard can be chosen to increase line loading.  With the issue of open access it has come to be more important then ever to assess risk in overloading the power transmission system.  As a senior design project the answer that needs to be addressed is simple: “How can statistical knowledge of risk, effect the amount of line loading a utility will assume?”
