“…The distance is calculated from the SD of the reliability index multiplied by a constant ratio, which is adjusted by the regulator. Besides, reward and penalty caps are calculated as a constant percentage of the annual revenue associated with all the feeders in each cluster 13 . These values were previously calculated from the annual energy consumption of the loads connected to each feeder.…”

“…Distribution system regulators have adopted various techniques to control service reliability considering upstream policies. One approach is to compare the present performance of a distribution company with its historical performance 12,13 . In this case, the DISCO receives a bonus if it can enhance its service reliability and is penalized if its reliability level declines over time.…”

Summary This paper proposes an approach to enhance the reliability regulation based on the relative performance. In the proposed approach, the distribution system feeders are clustered based on the parameters, which cannot be controlled by distribution companies. Afterward, a reliability incentive regulation is applied to each cluster so that the performance of each feeder is compared to its counterparts in the same cluster. The quality regulation is designed based on the reward‐penalty mechanism, which penalizes feeders whose performance is worse than a benchmark and rewards those providing a performance higher than the benchmark. Then, the reward and penalty associated to the electric distribution company are determined to summarize the rewards and penalties for all feeders. Having this approach implemented, utilities compete to make more profits by serving customers at higher reliability levels. To assess the effectiveness of proposed method, it is applied to a real distribution network containing 194 feeders.

-In the restructured electricity market, Performance-Based Regulation (PBR) regimehas been introduced to the distribution network. To ensure the network stability, this regime is used along with quality regulations. Quality regulation impose new financial risks on distribution system operators (DSOs). The poor quality of the network will result in reduced revenues for DSOs. The mentioned financial risks depend on the quality indices of the system. Based on annual variation of these indices, the cost of quality regulation will also vary. In this paper with regard to reclosing fault in distribution network, we develop a risk-based method to assess the financial risks caused by quality regulation for DSOs. Furthermore, in order to take the stochastic behavior of the distribution network and quality indices variations into account, time-sequential Monte Carlo simulation method is used. Using the proposed risk method, the effect of taking reclosing time into account will be examined on system quality indicators and the cost of quality regulation in Swedish rural reliability test system (SRRTS). The results show that taking reclosing fault into consideration, affects the system quality indicators, particularly annual average interruption frequency index of the system (SAIFI). Moreover taking reclosing fault into consideration also affects the quality regulations cost. Therefore, considering reclosing time provides a more realistic viewpoint about the financial risks arising from quality regulation for DSOs.

This paper aims to propose a new approach in designing Reward-Penalty Schemes (RPS), which so far have been used as the preferred tool in Service Quality Regulation (SQR). For the purpose of explaining the method, various types of RPS are divided into three categories. The concepts of these RPS categories, used in this paper, are inspired by intrinsic behavior of organisms as will be described in detail.
