Two approaches have been developed and used. One is based on customers survey that mainly investigates the preparatory actions that a consumer may take to reduce the effects of outages. The other one is based on a mathematical model that focuses on the value of foregone leisure and ceased activities should outages occur in specific periods. The residential consumer in the city of Riyadh has been selected as a practical case to conduct this study. It has been found that this sector - which constitutes about 700/0 of the Saudi Consolidated Electric Company in the central region (SCECO-c) energy consumers - will suffer tangible and intangible losses should outages occur, particularly in summer time, and last for longer durations. This paper provides new information and data that can be used in a broad range of cost-benefit analyses in power system planning, design and operation.  ISSN : 1319-1047  Journal Name : Engineering Sciences Journal  Volume : 7  Issue Number : 1  Publishing Year : 1415 AH 1995 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Thursday, January 7, 2010  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email عبدالله محمد الشعلان AL-SHAALAN, ABDULLAH MOHAMMED Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  24698.pdf pdf Impact of Power Outages on Residential Consumers in Riyadh City Back To Researches Page
