Abstract:

The regulatory schemes currently used for reliability improvement have weaknesses in the provision of quality services based on the customers’ perspective. These schemes consider the average of the service as a criterion to incentivize or penalize the distribution system operators (DSOs). On the other hand, most DSOs do not differentiate electricity services at the customer level, due to the status of the electricity grid and lack of adequate information about customers’ preferences. This paper proposes a novel reliability insurance scheme (RIS), which enables the electricity consumers to determine their desired reliability levels according to their preferences and pay corresponding premiums to the DSO. The DSO can use the premiums to improve reliability or reimburse consumers. To design efficient insurance contracts, this paper uses utility function to estimate customers’ viewpoints of electricity energy consumption. This function measures the customers’ satisfaction of electricity energy consumption. The proposed utility based reliability insurance scheme (URIS) may create a free-riding opportunity for the DSO, in which low quality service is provided and the collected premiums are used to pay the reimbursements. To prevent free-riding opportunity, this paper incorporates the proposed URIS and reward/penalty schemes (RPSs). The results show that the success of the proposed reliability scheme increases as the grid flexibility increases.

A reliability insurance scheme for the electricity distribution grid E - Lab Working Paper

In this paper, we examine the interplay of regulatory structures and the use of technology on the electricity distribution grid. The emphasis is on the incentives provided by regulation for efficient investment in capital and technology. Several regulatory structures are examined to determine their relative affects on investments in technologies, especially new technologies that can improve eff...

Reliability and Availability Improvement in Economic Data Grid Environment Based On Clustering Approach

Abstract - One of the important problems in grid environments is data replication in grid sites. Reliability and availability of data replication in some cases is considered low. To separate sites with high reliability and high availability of sites with low availability and low reliability, clustering can be used. In this study, the data grid dynamically evaluate and predict the condition of t...
