Bulk Power System SRI Calculation
SRI formula shows the aggregation of the three components representing a daily transmission loss, a daily generation loss and a daily load loss into a single daily Severity Risk Index. The load loss component of SRI is based on data collected from the IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES) Distribution Reliability Working Group (DRWG) Benchmark Study7 as described in the 2014 SRI Enhancement whitepaper. The Transmission Component Changes and Generation Component Changes sections are discussed below.
SRIbps = [(RPL) × wL × (MWL) + wT × (NT) + wG × (NG)] X 1000
Where:
SRI = Severity Risk Index for a given day,
wL = 60% - weighting of the load loss component,
MWL = normalized MWL load loss due to transmission or generation sources (MW) for the day;
Where,
MW
Peak = daily peak load (MW is aggregated at the NERC level obtained by FERC
TotalC/D = Total Customer served for the day obtained from IEEE benchmark data
CI = Customers Interrupted due to transmission or generation sources for the day obtained from the IEEE PES Distribution Reliability Working Group (DRWG) benchmark data.
RPL = load Restoration Promptness Level:
RPL = 1/4, if TCAIDI < 50,
RPL = 2/4, if 50 <= TCAIDI < 100,
RPL = 3/4, if 100 <= TCAIDI < 200,
RPL = 4/4, if TCAIDI >= 200,
TCAIDI = Transmission (or Generation Source) Customer Average Interruption Duration (in minutes) obtained from IEEE PES DRWG benchmark data.
wT = 30% - weighting of the transmission component,
LossT = daily transmission loss calculated as normalized equivalent MVA of transmission elements lost on a given day, obtained from TADS inventory and outage data ,
wG = 10% - weighting of the generation component,
LossG = daily generation loss calculated as normalized MW lost, obtained from GADS inventory and outage data.
