Reliability of generation system is an important aspect of planning, designing and operating for forecasting the plant capacity growth to make assurance that the totality generation is adequate to secure demand. The probability distributions correlating with the reliability indices may be utilized as complementary measures for accurate description and worthy information for system planners and operators. In the current research, the yearly load demand and its impact on the reliability of generating units was highlighted by some reliability indices that standardize against the international usefulness custom which are, Loss of Load Probability LOLP, Loss of Load Expectation LOLE, Loss of Energy Expectation LOEE, Loss of Energy Probability LOEP and Expected Energy Not Served EENS. This article is also dealing with the issue of generation capacity reserve assessment and the relation between the system reliability level and the expansion of the load. The notion of capacity extending analysis is clarify using a system of 4 stations. The effect on system reliability of adding a generation unit to the overall system can be observe in terms of decreasing the reliability indices and increasing the system Effective Load Carrying Capability (ELCC). This article has been used the Loss of Load Expectation LOLE in terms of day/ year as a critical limit for reliable and unreliable system.
