Abstract


In a competitive deregulated environment, distribution system operators are under pressure to meet the consumer reliability requirements. Reliability assessment of distribution system concerns availability of reliable power to the consumers. Distribution substations play a key role in delivering power to the consumers. Thus, the distribution substation reliability will affect the overall reliability of the distribution system. Complex configurations and parallel components are used in distribution substation design to enhance reliability which increases the complexity in reliability evaluation. In this paper, distribution substation is considered as an active redundant system and represented as k-out of-n parallel system. A hybrid method is proposed based on the minimal cut set and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) for distribution substation reliability evaluation. An algorithm is developed for evaluation of minimal cut sets of a system which includes k-out of-n parallel system. The proposed evaluation method is applied to a typical Indian urban distribution substation for different configurations. The basic reliability indices and cost of the substation are compared for all configurations.
