| Summary: | The knowledge of the reliability of distribution networks and systems is important
consideration in the system planning and operations for development and
improvements of power distribution systems. To achieve the target as minimum
interruptions as possible to customers, utilities must strive to improve the reliability
but at the same time reduce cost. It is a known fact that most of customer
interruptions are caused by the failure in distribution system. However, valid data are
not easy to collect and the reliability performance statistic not easy to obtain. There is
always uncertainty associated with the distribution network reliability. For evaluation
and analysis of reliability, it is necessary to have data on the number and range of the
examined piece of equipment. It’s important to have database for failure rates, repair
time and unavailability for each component in distribution network. These studies
present the analysis of distribution networks and systems by using analytical methods
in SESB’s distribution substations and network systems. These studies use analytical
methods to determine the reliability indices and effect of distribution substation
configuration and network to the reliability indices performance. Then the result
obtained will be compare with the actual data from SESB to determine the area of
improvement required for mutual benefit and also for improvement in the future
studies. |
