This book will provide readers with the tools to solve practical problems using appropriate risk assessment techniques. Both analytical and Monte Carlo evaluation methods are discussed with an emphasis on applied techniques and actual considerations in generation, transmission, substation, and distribution systems Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 315-319) and index Notes English Print version record Subject Electric power systems -- Reliability -- Mathematical models Monte Carlo method.
