Energy Unavailability

Energy unavailability is a measure of the energy which could not have been transmitted due to (scheduled & forced)not have been transmitted due to (scheduled & forced) outages.

E U il bilit % (EU) EOH/PH 100Energy Unavailability % (EU) = EOH/PH x 100

Forced Energy Unavailability % (FEU) = EFOH/PH x 100

Scheduled Energy Unavailability % (SEU) = ESOH/PH x 100


Energy AvailabilityEnergy Availability

A measure of the energy which could have been transmitted except for limitations of capacity due to outages, arising from any cause, either forced or scheduled.

Energy Availability % (EA) = (100 - EU)


ReliabilityReliability

Reliability is expressed in terms of the number of forced outages of curtailment occurrences of poles and Bipole per unit of time, usually one year.

EOF is the equivalent outage frequency which shall be calculated as follows:

EOF = number of one pole outages x 1+ number of other pole outages x 1+ number of bipole outages x 2


Normally specified ValuesNormally specified Values

Energy Availability: 97%

FEU: 0.7 %

Reliability: Not more than 10 forced outages
