In order to calculate realistic bus indexes, two practical load curtailment philosophies are incorporated in the minimization model of load curtailment, which is achieved in computer program developed for bulk power system reliability evaluation.

Power system reliability evaluation based on weather dependent failure models;

Power grid reliability evaluation system based on real-time measurement data;

Flight reliability evaluation for missile turbofan engine;

Bayesian reliability assessment based on constant-stress accelerated life testing for long-life products with Weibull Distribution when missing data;

Study on theory and method of reliability assessment of explosive initiator based on testing entropy;

Bayes reliability assessment for k-out-of-n system based on ML-II method;

Study of seismic reliability estimation on urban water supply network;

A new method for reliability estimation by using prior information;

Methods and Applications of Operational Reliability Estimation for CNC Equipment Based on Performance Parameters;

In order to alleviate the calculation catastrophe of bulk power system reliability evaluation, a coarse-grain parallel Monte Carlo simulation methodology and its asynchronous implementations combining convergence checking, based on HPC (high performance computation)Cluster and MPI(message passing interface)communication mechanism, are presented.
