This paper proposes a new approach to evaluate loss of load indices in composite generation and transmission systems. The main idea is combine Cross-Entropy (CE)-based optimization process nonsequential Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) obtain an auxiliary sampling distribution, which can minimize the variance reliability index estimators. distribution will properly modify original unavailabilities both equipment, so that important failure events are sampled more often. As result, MCS algorithm...

In electrical power systems, the impact of interruptions due to failures can be reduced through expansion planning studies. While high investments result in very expensive and more reliable decisions, lead unreliable systems. Therefore, it is evident that economic reliability constraints are conflicting, which makes decision-making difficult operation stage. The theory, based on probabilities stochastic processes, allows modeling random behavior equipment estimate performance indices such as...
