Analysis of distribution indices for typical rural scenerio

Abstract

Reliability is among one of the most accountable issues in the power industry today. Power failure is the main outcome, results from continuous and wide spread use of electricity. Thus, reliability has emerges as one of the important phenomenon need to be considered. Quantitative analysis of power systems reliability can be obtained by reliability indices. Various methods are introduced and developed over the time to evaluate reliability indices of the system and thus reliability assessment of power system. This paper analyses the main distribution reliability indices (SAIDI, CAIDI, SAIFI, CIII, and CAIFI). The values are calculated in real time for rural area. Conclusion is drawn on the basis of determined values. Indices so obtained are helpful in future planning of power system.
