Question

please give the answer asap

our-unit hydro plant serves a remote load through two transmission lines. The four hydro units are connected to a single step-up transformer which is then connected to the two lines. The remote load has a daily peak load variation curve which is a straight line from the 100% to the 60% point. Calculate the annual loss of load expectation for a forecast peak of 70 MW using the following data. Hydro units Transformer Transmission lines 25 MW. Forced outage rate 2%. 1. Co 0.2% 40 l 110 MVA. Forced outage rate Carrying capability 50 MW each line Failure rate 2 f/year Average repair time 24 hours

Explanation / Answer

LOLE - Loss of Load Expectation

100 MW installed capacity, 70 MW peak load at 80% load factor Calculate LOLE for the following system:

G G G G

| | | |

------------

X

L L

D

where G represents a 25 MW generator unit, X represents a 110 MVA transformer, L represents a 50 MW transmission line, and D represents a 70 MW peak load.

The "union" of cumulative probabilities yields

Pr(G&Xout >= 0) = Pr(Gout >= 0) + Pr(Xout >= 0) - Pr(Gout >= 0)*Pr(Xout >= 0)

Pr(G&Xout >= 100) = Pr(Gout >= 100) + Pr(Xout >= 100) - Pr(Gout >= 100)*Pr(Xout >= 100)

LOLE 4.166e+000

sum of individual LOLEs

0.6124+0.73+2.837 = 4.179

is greater than actual system LOLE, since independent systems (e.g., generation, transformer and transmission lines) can have outages at the same time.
