Abstract
Reliability is a key aspect of power system design and planning. In this research a reliability analysis algorithm for radial operated (with respect to substation,), reconfigurable, electrical distribution systems. The algorithm takes into account equipment power handling constraints. Linked lists of segments are employed in obtaining the rapid convergence. The implementation is effected by using the AlA TLAB package. The application of distributed generators for electrical distribution systems is a new technology. The placement of distributed generation and its effects on reliability is investigated. The study presented here evaluates improvement of reliability for static load models. Reliability indices for load points and the overall system have been developed. A new reliability index is proposed. The proposed index makes easier to locate areas where reliability needs to be improved. The usefulness of this index is demonstrated with numerical examples.
