Optimizing the Replacement of Overhead Lines in Rural Distribution Systems with Respect to Reliability and Customer Value

چکیده
In this paper we present a method for establishing the value of a network’s components from a reliability worth perspective. The method can be applied to a general distribution system i.e. both for radial and meshed network systems. Moreover, this paper shows results from an application study for a rural network system that is dominated by overhead lines. The purpose of the study was to establish the value of a secondary feeding point. Further, the method is used to establish the best replacement strategy for the concerned overhead lines.

Reliability Assessment of Distribution Systems in Presence of Microgrids Considering Uncertainty in Generation and Load Demand
The microgrid concept provides attractive solutions for reliability enhancement of power distribution systems. Normally, microgrids contain renewable-energy-based Distributed Generation (DG) units, which their output power varies with different environmental conditions. In addition, load demand usually changes with factors such as hourly and seasonal customer activities. Hence, these issues hav...

متن کاملInvestigating Impacts of Sustainable Repair Time and Circuit Breaker Model on Meshed Distribution Networks Reliability Assessment
Generally, the failure rate and the repair time of system components are constant parameters in reliability assessment of electric distribution systems. A failure of component is resulted from failing in the operation or overloading. In addition, there exist cases where, the repair times of components are small and tolerable from customer point of view. Thus, tolerable repair times may be overl...
متن کاملA Customer Oriented Approach for Distribution System Reliability Improvement using Optimal Distributed Generation and Switch Placement
The reliability of distribution networks is inherently low due to their radial nature, consequently distribution companies (DisCos) usually seek to improve the system reliability indices with the minimum possible investment cost. This can be known as system-oriented reliability planning (SORP). However, there can exist some customers that are not satisfied by their reliability determined by ado...
