10.    Course Goals (acquired competencies):  Understanding the theory of reliability, probability and statistics. Learning and understanding  the basic concepts and principles for assessing the reliability of the individual segments (generation, transmission and distribution of electricity), as well as complex power systems treated integrally. Competence in finding the most effective measures and techniques to increase the reliability of a power system.

20.  Forms of assessment During the semester, there are two mid/end-term partial exams (120 min each). Besides these exams, any student must complete and submit the required homework/project assignments, according to the schedule published at the course web site. For the students that will not be successful at the partial exams there is additional opportunity to do final exam (180 min.).
The final mark is determined from the weighted average of scores from the exams and homework/project assignments.
During the exams, it is not allowed to use any literature in printed or electronic form. Calculators are allowed, but not mobile phones, tablets or similar electronic devices
