Rationale – Since distribution utilities (DUs) are regulated with their operational power quality (PQ) and system reliability, which accounts for System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) and System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), it may be considered to utilize the historical data for DU planning in the context of probabilistic evaluation.
Concept Methodology-
1. Gather PQ and [...]

Critical Analysis of the Visayas Power Situation
Recent newspaper reports indicated that the Department of Energy (DOE) has deferred the launching of the commercial operations of Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) in the Visayas region due to the report of an Australian firm, Intelligent Energy Systems (IES)). IES was commissioned by DOE to assess the readiness of the said region in [...]

Voltage Security in Philippine Power Systems
Voltage security in power system planning and operations is an important factor of grid and distribution codes in the Philippines. The power system, system components and customer devices respond to the magnitude of voltage in a manner that would impact its operation. Power system interruption cascades when voltage collapse is experienced. Generators [...]
