abstract

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 overlooked in the reliability evaluation of distribution systems. therefore, by omitting the tolerable failures, reliability indices that are more reasonable, will be gained. in this paper, impacts of omitting customer tolerable repair time on electric distribution system reliability are studied. a simple model of circuit breaker, which differs from other components, is included. monte carlo simulation method is used for calculating reliability indices. a meshed distribution system is selected as a test system and simulations are performed and analyzed. simulation results show that unavailability of load points are decreased resulting from omitting sustainable repair time, and also, it is required to include breaker model in distribution reliability evaluation.

Trip Coil Signature Analysis and Interpretation for Distribution Circuit Breaker Condition Assessment and Diagnosis

A circuit breaker may be considered an ‘active link’, used to make and break an electrical circuit under conditions of varying severity. In the event of a circuit fault the circuit breaker must respond within tens of milliseconds in order to prevent damage to connected plant and safeguard personnel. As such, a circuit breaker will remain idle for the bulk of its lifetime, only being called into...

Real-time Monitoring and Assessment of Circuit Breaker Operations for Diagnostics and Control Applications

Circuit breakers (CBs) are very important elements in the power system. They are used to switch other equipment in and out of service. Circuit breakers need to be reliable since their incorrect operation can cause major issues with power system protection and control. Today’s practice in monitoring circuit breaker operation and status in real time is reduced to the use of Remote Terminal Units ...
