A well developed program that uses flow graph theory to calculate the steady state probabilities is presented in this paper. Two examples are tested, and their results are successfully obtained. The first model is a seven state model and represents two transmitters fed from a common power supply unit. The second model is an eight‐state model which represents three electric generators supplying part of State of Bahrain electrical network. The high accuracy and the time saving advantages show that the proposed method gives excellent agreement with the results obtained by the Runge‐Kutta method. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
