Modified Reliability Assessment Method for Analysis of Cyber-Physical System Consisting IEEE 24 Bus System Parallel with Cyber Network

ABSTRACT With the transformation from a traditional, rural, and agrarian society to a secular, urban, and industrial society and competitive environment, the rise in the power demand and supply makes it difficult to meet the customer’s expectations and needs. It has become necessary that the electric utility industry make sure they have accurate information about system performance and reliability. The paper presents four different cases through which the reliability of the electric distribution system is studied by calculating customer-oriented indices and load-oriented indices. The assessment is carried out using Modified Reliability Assessment Method (MRAM) on IEEE 24 bus system using MATLAB simulation, and the indicators of reliability analysis such as System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SIAFI), System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI), Average Service Availability Index (ASAI), Average Service Unavailability Index (ASUI), Energy Not Supplied index (ENS), Average Energy Not Supplied (AENS), Annual Customer Interruptions (ACI), and Customer Interruption Duration (CID) are evaluated. Moreover, the impact of the inclusion of cyber networks in the traditional system is also taken into consideration to determine the system’s reliability. Also, the result shows that the parallel combination is more superior to the other one. Graphical Abstract
