Reliability Enhancement of Radial Distribution System Using Network Reconfiguration

  Umesh Agarwal,  Monika Vardia

Reliability analysis of distribution system ensures the availability of supply at the end of customer terminals. Distribution system is one of the most important part of power system as distribution system is the only link between utility and consumers. During the last few years this area has received great interest. A considerable number of papers have been published describing the development and modelling of distribution system and different techniques to evaluate the reliability indices. This paper describes the network reconfiguration technique to evaluate the reliability indices and to improve them. It also consists the best optimal network configuration that suits for best reliable system. To explain this technique RBTS-6 BUS system is considered from which BUS-2 is chosen for analysis purpose.
