Reliability worth assessments of electrical Distribution networks

摘要

Reliability evaluation techniques have reached a stage at which they can be applied to real systems in a very effective and efficient manner. However, the economic impact of system reliability, or more specifically system unreliability, on users and customers is not so readily available. In order to achieve this, there is a need to know customer and user outage costs and their evaluation of reliability worth. During the past 5 years, major surveys of domestic, commercial and industrial customers have taken place in the UK in order to provide this information.
