Reliability cost/reliability worth considerations are becoming important factors in the design and operation of power systems. In order to generate a practical tool for reliability worth assessment, customer interruption costs must be related to the calculated indices utilized in system planning and operation. A factor that relates the customer losses caused by electric power interruption to the worth of electric service reliability has been developed for generating capacity adequacy assessment. This factor is referred to as the interrupted energy assessment rate (IEAR). This paper extends the concepts involved in the evaluation of IEAR at the generating capacity level to calculate the IEAR for composite generation and transmission studies. These concepts are illustrated using a customer damage function and an educational test system.
