WITHDRAWN: Availability, Reliability, Maintainability and Capability based Effectiveness Measure of Power System Radial Networks

Abstract

Reliability of the Power System dictates system adequacy and security. Generally, power system networks reliability is estimated based on its service availability from the customer's viewpoint of satisfaction. Parameters in this analysis interpret the service uptime and downtime frequencies, duration and count of affected customers, etc. Corresponding to these indices expected losses in terms of service, load, and revenues are estimated. But to work upon very fundamental issues for overall improvement of power system networks performance, assessment of systems effectiveness remains a rarely studied area. For example, although it is understood that a radial network configuration has low reliability, still major primary distribution structures and rural power distribution networks of (5KV -35KV) are mostly configured in radial structure only. Because it remarkably reduces the cost involved in network duplication especially the cost incurred for vital equipment. For this significant analysis, authors have extended the concept of Barringer for analysis of Dual generator fed radial power system networks Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Capability based Effectiveness (RAMCE) measure. This paper demonstrates here the technique for analysis of a Dual Generator set feeding to 5-load bus radial systems is considered here.
