The application of quantitative reliability evaluation in electric power sys- tems has now evolved to the point at which most utilities use these techniques in one or more areas of their planning, design, and operation.
In response to new developments in the field, practical teaching experience, and readers' suggestions, the authors of the warmly received Reliablity Evaluation of Engineering Systems have updated and extended the work-providing extended coverage of fault trees and a more complete examination of probability distribution, among other things-without disturbing the original's concept, structure, or style.
