Generally Accepted Reliability Principle with Uncertainty modelling and through probabilistic Risk assessment (GARPUR)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
"Power system reliability management means to take decisions under increasing uncertainty (for instance, related to renewable generation). It aims to maintain power system performance at a desired level, while minimizing the socio-economic costs of keeping the power system at that performance level. Seven TSOs (Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Iceland, Norway), together with ele ...
