Reliability assessment of distribution system with distributed generation

Risk assessment of wind turbines: Transition from pure mechanistic paradigm to modern complexity paradigm

“…They also developed a probabilistic model for wind farm output power using Markov model in [47] and used an analytical method to evaluate system reliability considering effects of wind farm size and wind speed [47]. Jahangiri and Fotuhi-Firuzabad [48] assessed the reliability of distribution system with distributed generation in which distributed generation technologies include technologies such as wind turbines and photovoltaic. They investigated the impact of distributed generation units, their location, number of units in each location, and their availability on distribution system reliability via considering the random behavior of distributed generation units [48].…”

In a complementary study, Ghaedi et al [49] examined the potential impacts of wind and photovoltaic farms on reliability level of composite power systems in which both components failure rate and uncertainty nature of renewable resources (e.g.…”

Impact of Distributed Generation on Reliability of Distribution System

“…DG may be used as standby or backup source. When DG units are applied as standup units, only affect will be on outage duration and do not affect the interruption frequency, so SAIFI will be constant and indices (except SAIFI) are too sensitive to location, number and availability of DG units [15].…”

Integration of High Reliability Distribution System in Microgrid Operation

“…The proximity of DG and load could decrease the duration and the frequency of outages as well as the level of energy not supplied at a microgrid [12], [13]; however, the microgrid topology could play a crucial role in supplying the microgrid loads with diverse reliability requirements. In a grid-connected mode, outages of the main grid could lead to the microgrid islanding.…”
