Canadian Experience in the Collection of Transmission

and Distribution Component Unavailability Data

Roy Billinton, Fellow, IEEE
Chairman, Canadian Electricity Association
Consultative Committee on Outage Statistics
Abstract-- Equipment and system performance data are
usually collected for two basic reasons. The first, and
possibly the most obvious reason, is to assess past
performance. The second reason is to provide the required
information to estimate future performance. Consistent
collection of data is essential as it forms the input to
relevant reliability models, techniques and equations.
Consistent data are required to continuously monitor the
performance of an electric power system and to measure
its ability to provide reliable service to its customers. Many
utilities have established comprehensive procedures for
assessin the performance of their systems. !n Canada,
these procedures have been formulated throuh the
Canadian Electricity "ssociation #CE"$.
The CE" is an orani%ation for exchanin information
on technical, mar&etin and manaement problems of
mutual interest to its members. !n '()*, CE" adopted a
proposal to create a facility for centrali%ed collection,
processin and reportin of reliability and outae statistics
for electric eneration, transmission and distribution
equipment. The outae statistics made available throuh
this collection and analysis process provide the requisite
data to evaluate the reliability of eneration, transmission
and distribution systems. This paper briefly illustrates the
philosophies adopted by Canadian utilities in the collection
of component and system outae data. !t also presents a
summary of the transmission and distribution component
unavailability data in the CE" database.

I. INTRODCTION
ANADIAN electric utilities have al!ays "een concerned
!ith the need to #rovide a high level o$ continuity and
%uality o$ su##ly to their customers. This concern mani$ests
itsel$ in the #lanning, design and the o#eration o$ their systems
and the &udicial selection o$ a##ro#riate e%ui#ment. This can
"e achieved "y %uantitatively assessing the relia"ility o$ the
#o!er system. Any attem#t to o"tain %uantitative relia"ility
indices invaria"ly leads to an e'amination o$ data availa"ility
and re%uirements to su##ort such studies. In conce#tual terms,
data can "e collected $or one or "oth o$ t!o reasons(
assessment o$ #ast #er$ormance and)or #rediction o$ $uture
system #er$ormance.
In order to #er$orm #redictive studies, it is essential to
trans$orm #ast e%ui#ment e'#erience into re%uired $uture
system #redictions. Consistent collection o$ data is essential
as it $orms the in#ut to relevant relia"ility models, techni%ues
and e%uations. Consistent data are re%uired to continuously
monitor the #er$ormance o$ an electric #o!er system and to
measure its a"ility to #rovide relia"le service to its customers.
These re%uirements e'ist in "oth regulated and un*regulated
utility environments. E%ui#ment and system "enchmar+ing
cannot "e #er$ormed in the a"sence o$ consistent data
collected under com#rehensive and agreed de$initions and
#rotocols.
,any utilities have esta"lished com#rehensive #rocedures
$or assessing the #er$ormance o$ their systems. In Canada,
these #rocedures have "een $ormulated through the Canadian
Electricity Association -CEA.. The CEA is an organi/ation $or
e'changing in$ormation on technical, mar+eting and
management #ro"lems o$ mutual interest to its mem"ers. In
0123, CEA ado#ted a #ro#osal to create a $acility $or
centrali/ed collection, #rocessing and re#orting o$ relia"ility
and outage statistics $or electrical generation, transmission and
distri"ution e%ui#ment. The outage statistics made availa"le
through this collection and analysis #rocess #rovide the
re%uisite data to evaluate the relia"ility o$ generation,
transmission and distri"ution systems. This #a#er "rie$ly
illustrates the #hiloso#hies ado#ted "y Canadian utilities in the
collection o$ generation, transmission and distri"ution
e%ui#ment data. The CEA has also develo#ed a series o$
#rotocols $or monitoring the #ast #er$ormance o$ the "ul+
electricity system and the overall system. This #a#er "rie$ly
descri"es these re#orting #rocedures. The #rimary $ocus o$ the
#a#er is, ho!ever, on the transmission and distri"ution
segments o$ the E%ui#ment Relia"ility In$ormation System
-ERIS..
II. E4I5,ENT RE6IABI6IT7 IN8OR,ATION S7STE,
All the ma&or electric #o!er utilities in Canada #artici#ate in
a single data collection and analysis system called the
E%ui#ment Relia"ility In$ormation System -ERIS.. CEA
started collecting data on generation e%ui#ment in 0122 and on
transmission outages in 0129 and since then has #u"lished a
num"er o$ re#orts in "oth areas. The third stage, dealing !ith
distri"ution e%ui#ment, !as com#leted in 011:. There has,
ho!ever, "een relatively little #rogress on collecting
com#onent outage data. The "asic com#onents in ERIS are

availa"le to all interested #arties. The utility versions contain

The ERIS and E5SRA methodology develo#ed $or

acce#ted as Canadian electric #o!er industry standards. These
systems !ere develo#ed as a &oint e$$ort "et!een the CEA, the
