Abstract
The block diagram reduction technique for reliability analysis is reviewed and compared with the use of the state transition matrix. It is pointed out that an efficient technique now exists for calculating system mean time between failures directly from the transition matrix, and this fact removes the major advantage possessed by the reduction technique. The superior flexibility of analysis using the transition matrix and the fewer approximations that are necessary seem to favor this approach for further power system applications.Keywords
