Course Description		Basic probability, reliability functions and fundamental concepts, system reliability analysis, cut set method, tie set method, event tree method, stand-by systems, discrete Markov Chains, Continuous Markov chains and reliability models, availability, limiting states and approximate calculations, reliability zones in electric power systems, generation system reliability analysis, transmission system reliability analysis, composite system reliability analysis, distribution system reliability analysis, Monte Carlo simulations.
Course Outcomes		MSc students who successfully pass this course gain knowledge, skills and competency in the following subjects; I. To review the importance and the development of reliability and to establish the relation between the reliability and the economics. II. To review the basic probability theory for reliability analysis, III. To learn the component reliability functions and failure rate models and to derive some information from available data, IV. To understand the system reliability evaluation methods and to identify the failure modes and the critical components, V. Time-dependent reliability and reliability indices calculations for mission-oriented systems. VI. To perform Markov Modeling based reliability calculations for t he systems comprising multi-state components. VII. To perform reliability evaluations and reliability indices calculations for several functional zones of electric energy systems. VIII. Reliability calculations by Monte Carlo simulations.
Pre-requisite(s)		To help students learning and comprehending the course material better, 4-5 individual homeworks and a group term project will be assigned.
Required Facilities		The students should use the computer for the solution of the homework questions. In addition, they have to use some power flow software and/or computational software for their term Project.
