• A Reliability Perspective of the Smart Grid (2010, background): “In the United States, the annual cost of outages in 2002 is estimated to be in the order of $79B [6], which equals about a third of the total electricity retail revenue of $249B [7].”
• North American Blackout Time Series Statistics and Implications for Blackout Risk (2016, methodology): “Our analysis is not inconsistent with the analysis of [32] that finds momentary interruptions to be important, because [32] does not address the largest blackouts.”
• Choice experiment study on the willingness to pay to improve (2009, background): “In developed countries the reliability is quite high, for instance, in the Netherlands the average outage for low voltage consumers is 26 minutes per year (Bloemhof et al., 2001) and in the US the average duration of interruptions is 106 minutes (LaCommare and Eto, 2006).”
