Abstract:

In order to overcome the drawbacks of the fault tree analysis （FTA） in the reliability evaluation of highvoltage circuit current （HVDC） transmission system, this paper proposes a novel method based on the Monte Carlo method and the FTA. In the proposed method, a fault tree is established according to the causes of system failure and with the component maintenance and backup dependency being considered. The fault tree is then simulated by the improved Monte Carlo simulation technique. Simulated results of a real HVDC transmission system show that the proposed method is feasible and effective .

Key words: high-voltage circuit current transmission system, reliability evaluation, fault tree analysis, Monte Carlo method
