Reliability simulation shows results

Abstract

While traditional engineering applications have been used to address power quality, voltage, and various other issues within the distribution system, the presentation of these results normally has been within an engineering audience. However, today's engineer often needs to perform reliability studies and present the results to a much wider audience, including utility executives, managers, customer support, utility commissions, and even energy customers. As a result, reliability studies can become extremely important and often influence business decisions. This article addresses the challenges of results presentation to this larger audience, as well as preparation of the data required for a comprehensive study that will satisfy audience expectations.
