This report outlines a new approach to power system reliability evaluation calculated to provide a computationally feasible, comprehensive reliability index suitable for screening analysis. The results show that effective reliability analysis in a screening sense can be performed on large electric networks with a very modest computational effort. The reduction in computational requirements over available and proposed analysis techniques is by more than two orders of magnitude. Availability of this capability would allow the utility planners to analyze a large number of alternative plant expansions and system conditions.
