outageProbTable(GEN​ERATOR_CAPACITIES, GENERATOR_OUTAGE)

Function returns a Capacity Outage Probability Table, useful for power system reliability modeling.

Function returns a Capacity Outage Probability Table, useful for power system reliability modeling.
This function improves upon another Mathworks Community upload through better performance and code readability.

Input Description:
- GENERATOR_CAPACITIES vector with capacity of each generator
- GENERATOR_OUTAGE the corresponding Forced Outage Rate (EFORd) for each generator

Output Description:
- Returns the capacity outage probability table (COPT): [System Capacity Available, State Probabilities]

Notes:
Computational efficiency is achieved by combining states that sum to the same system capacity. The script automatically rounds all generators to 2 decimal points; however, further rounding will achieve greater performance.
