Optimal reliability design in an electrical distribution system via a polynomial-time algorithm

Reliability evaluation and enhancement of distribution systems in the presence of distributed generation based on standby mode

“…Sallam et al [6] presented a methodology for determination of optimal reliability indices for distribution system using gradient projection method. Chang and Wu [7] developed a methodology for obtaining optimal reliability design of electrical distribution system using a primal dual interior point algorithm. Chowdhury and Custer [8] developed a value based approach for designing urban distribution system.…”

Ranking of feeder sections of distribution systems for maintenance prioritization accounting distributed generations and loads using diagnostic importance factor (DIF)

“…Table 3 gives Failure rate and average down time for distributed generation alongwith failure rate and service restoration time of changeover switch. Unavailabilities at load points 2, 4, 5, and 7 have been calculated using usual relations (7) and (8) successively whereas unavailabilities at load points involving DG have been evaluated using relations (12)- (14) in addition to relation (7) and (8). Table 4 gives ranking list of feeder sections for prioritization of maintenance activities.…”
