RELIABILITY ANALYSIS FOR A FEEDER OF AN ELECTRIC POWER DISTRIBUTION COMPANY IN ECUADOR USING THE MONTECARLO SIMULATION METHOD

Abstract

This study focuses on the evaluation of the reliability indexes of a feeder belonging to an Ecuadorian energy distribution company, reliability analysis is currently a topic of vital importance when making decisions in the area. technique for the electrical supply, in this way, in the first instance, a general evaluation of the feeder is carried out with the objective of collecting important information focused on; areas of influence, global indicators, failures and their causes. With the collection of information, we proceed to design a computational algorithm in the Matlab environment following the Montecarlo simulation methodology because this allows us to evaluate complex mathematical expressions with greater accuracy, concluding with results that allow us to estimate the reliability in the feeder to subsequently take measures to improve the reliability of the feeder.
