Evaluation of Load Point and Customer Point Indices of a Distribution Generation System

Abstract

Distributed Generation (DG) is an essential part in power systems. DG gives provision of an equivalent to the usual electric origins like oil, gas, water, etc. DG distribution is used to gear the reliability of a power distribution system. This is done with the help of reduction of outages or sudden interruptions which usually happen because of failure in the transmission or distribution systems. In this study, the reliability indices of a 132 KV Grid Station have been found out and by using those indices, it is analyzed that how the reliability of a distributed generation system can be improved with the help of System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI), System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI), Estimated Energy Not Served (EENS) and Average Service Availability Index (ASAI).
