With recent advances in technology, utilities
generation (DG) on the distribution systems. Reliability worth is very important in power system
planning and operation. Having a DG ensures reli
increase the reliability worth.
This research project presents the study of a radial distribution system and the impact of placing
DG in order to increase the reliability worth.
where a DG have to be placed. The reliability improvement is measured by different reliability
indices that include SAIDI, CAIDI, ENS and ECOTS. In addition
each feeder of the system, as well as the
amount of DG installed are presented.
The research also pretends to recall the impotence of understanding of power system reliability
from a investment view for distribution companies in order to enhance the DG installat
costumer. The studies performed are supported with the Power Management System Software
ETAP. |
