Students should be able to: Understand and explain the reliability issues of the composite generation-transmission system and cover the main evaluation techniques (CDIO 1.3, 1.4, 2.1, 2.3). Apply simulation methodologies to these problems (CDIO 2.1, 2.4, 2.5, 3.2, 3.3). Know and apply methodologies for planning, namely in an uncertainty environment (CDIO 2.5, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.6). Analyze the impact of the structural modifications of the electric sector in the planning activity (CDIO 2.5, 4.1, 4.2).
Defined in the objectives.
Reliability of the generating system. Deterministic and probabilistic criteria for the evaluation of reserves. Risk. Definition of expansion strategies taking in account risk and investment.
Reliability of the composite generation-transmission system. Analytic methods and simulation. Monte Carlo: theory. Acceleration of convergence: contrl variables and importance sampling. Confidence intervals and convergence. Systems with hydro component. Systems with high penetration of wind power.
Reliability assessment by meta-heurístics, competing against Monte Carlo.
Planning of transmission and distribution systems. Optimization based models. Basic Garver model. Optimization with meta-heuristics. Planning in transmission systems with a high penetration of renewables.
Reactive power planning: operation and investment.
Lectures, discussion and interaction about concepts and foundations of the methodologies. Tutorial classes dedicated to the development of small group projects that constitute the assignments of the course.

Successful completion of the two assignments (at least 8 out of 20).
Written exam, 50% Assignments, 50% (Minimum of 8/20 in both components)
All the students must complete the assignments.
A second opportunity for the exam is available. Distributed evaluation cannot by its nature be improved.
