Defining Power System Health : Framework and Process towards a System Health Index

• The health index has traditionally been devised and calculated for individual assets within a power system. This index provides vital details about an asset’s overall health and allows for a standardized comparison among various assets. However, the intricate nature of power systems poses significant challenges when trying to adapt this methodology for a broader, global power system health index. To tackle this obstacle, this paper proposes an innovative framework for evaluating power system health. The framework’s primary purpose is either to monitor the performance of a power system within a defined jurisdiction (such as a country, region, or utility) over time and identify trends/changes or to compare the performance across various jurisdictions. This paper further presents a comprehensive overview of key concepts that play a vital role in determining power system health. These include the driving factors, performance metrics, and associated costs, all of which are under the careful supervision of asset management. Special attention is given to the physical dimensions of the security of electricity supply, which represent the performance-based aspect of power system health and constitute the foundation for the power system health index. Each performance-based dimension is thoroughly reviewed, and a list of relevant key performance indicators is provided for every dimension.
