    Abstract: This paper presents the correlation between the reliability and the weather scenario of Bangladesh Power System (BPS). Reliability of the power system is one of the major features of power quality. The variation of electrical demand above its base value is its common characteristic. The weather dependent variation of demand, especially where the we... Show More
