Abstract
Reliability is one of the vital area in electric power system which defines continuous supply of power and customer satisfaction. The distribution system have more than 80% of all customer interruptions occur (i.e power quality issues) due to component failures. That report indicates that, the expected reliability indices such as interruption frequency and interruption duration during the entire year. Many researches are finding to assess the reliability of the power system. Further, due to the wide growth of distributed generation in electrical power, investigating their impact on system reliability, it becomes an attractive area of research. In this paper, the reliability evaluations of distribution system using a minimal cut set method based on the FMEA technique is described and apply to the IEEE RBTS Bus-2. Development of reliability modeling using ETAP software is presented for determining the reliability indices. In addition to, improvement of reliability with introducing of distributed generation model is presented on the distribution system. Different reliability tests were done to find the optimum location to plant DG in distribution system. Reliability indices are load point indices and system indices which includes, System Average Interruption Frequency Indices (SAIFI), System Average Interruption Duration Indices (SAIDI), Customer Average Interruption Frequency Indices (CAIFI), Customer Average Interruption Duration Indices (CAIDI) etc. These indices are shows that, performances of reliability of the distributionsystem
