<p>I would say common sense dictates that not having electricity for
some minutes 2-3 times a year does not represent a significant
probability that electricity will be unavailable.</p>
<p>As mentioned in the paper <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tej.2020.106828">https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tej.2020.106828</a>,
it seems that there is no clear definition of what constitutes
reliable electricity access. The definition proposed in the linked
paper: an electricity source is reliable if "a maximum threshold
of 12 outages in a typical year for SAIFI and 12 hours of power
outage per year" is not exceeded. This seems reasonable and could
be included to define what "significant" means in this case. <br>
</p>
<p>Further, it might be interesting to allow tagging of reliability
in a tier system (i.e. intermittent=*?) as described by
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.worldbank.org/content/dam/Worldbank/Topics/Energy%20and%20Extract/Beyond_Connections_Energy_Access_Redefined_Exec_ESMAP_2015.pdf">https://www.worldbank.org/content/dam/Worldbank/Topics/Energy%20and%20Extract/Beyond_Connections_Energy_Access_Redefined_Exec_ESMAP_2015.pdf</a>
but I wouldn't include this in the current proposal. <br>

When I lived in Sentani, in Indonesia, the power would go

intermittent <br>
From the perspective of an industrial country, what about
having no electricity for some minutes, 2-3 times a year. Is
this intermittent or yes?<br>

<p>What objective criteria could be used here? Or are we going to
take a poll of the opinions of a few users and go with the
majority of the self-selecting participants like we usually do?</p>
<p>We could use MTBF/MTTR for example, or availability as a
percentage. Of course it would be a guess, but at least the
discussions would be about facts (how many outages were there
last year? how long did they last?) and not about semantics of
words like "intermittent".</p>
