“…These caps are usually considered as percentage of the annual revenue of each DisCo [4]. In this paper, the ceilings are determined in such a way that the total reward or penalty from all reliability indices (in this paper, SAIFI and AENS) would be lower than 5 percent of the annual revenue of each DisCo.…”

“…If a DisCo provides better reliability than this level, it will receive bonus. On the other hand, it will be penalized if cannot satisfy the desired reliability level [2]- [4].

“…In [4], [6], and [7], the RPS is designed based on the Data Envelopment analysis (DEA). The authors in [8] proposed a designing method that not only motivates DisCos to improve the reliability level of their networks, but also, minimizes the implementation cost of the RPS for regulator.…”

In this paper, a new method for designing procedure of Reward-Penalty Scheme (RPS) in distribution system is proposed. Being fair and adoptable in viewpoint of distribution companies (DisCos) are main superiorities of the proposed RPS. Established based on concept of the Yardstick theory, its application can ensure regulators that a perfect competition will be created between DisCos to improve the service reliability. Also, such a regulation scheme can be a key for power system decision makers in order to prevent the DisCos from decreasing service reliability. Aimed to reach a fair mechanism, the proposed RPS rewards/penalizes the DisCos only compared with the other ones owning similar conditions. In this regard, Fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering technique is applied to effectively categorize the similar DisCos into different groups. The average system reliability indices, i.e. System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) and Expected Energy Not Supplied (EENS) are chosen as the comparison criteria in the proposed RPS. In order to illustrate efficiency of the proposed method, the proposed RPS is implemented on the Iranian electric power distribution sector to compare the abilities of different companies in reaching the predetermined goals.

Summary This paper introduces a new fuzzy‐based design procedure for more efficient application of reward‐penalty schemes in distribution sector. To achieve a fair as well as applicable regulation scheme, the fuzzy C‐means clustering algorithm is employed to efficiently determine the similarity among distribution companies. As setting procedure of the reward‐penalty scheme parameters can significantly affect the income of different companies, a new procedure based on the membership degrees obtained from the fuzzy C‐means algorithm is proposed to fairly determine these parameters for each electricity distribution company. Some numerical studies are performed on the Iranian electricity distribution companies.
