Reactive energy compensator effect on the reliability of a complex electrical system using Bayesian networks
The static synchronous compensator is presented in order to improve an electrical network system performance. The present work aims to develop a Bayesian methodology for assessing the time-variant reliability of a complex electrical system taking into account reactive energy compensator (STATCOM). However, the complex aspect is not only related to the complexity of electrical system components architecture, nevertheless is allied to electrical network and STATCOM interactions. The Bayesian network is used for coping with this complexity constraint. The reliability-based assessment of reactive energy compensator effect is applied to a real case of a complex electrical system. The proposed Bayesian methodology application reveals that the STATCOM has a significant influence on electrical system reliability and the developed model can provide valuable information for decision makers to improve the system reliability performance.
