Methodologies adjust a component failure rate for electric power network
reliability analysis. A component may include subcomponents and the
failure of each subcomponent may be feature dependent. Features are
measurable or observable inputs, which can affect the life of one or more
subcomponents. The failure rate of a particular component may be obtained
according to its real conditions. The methodologies can be used to do
condition-based reliability analysis for electric power networks, in
order to obtain a maintenance/replacement/operation strategy.
