The Reliability Assessment module for ETAP evaluates the availability and quality of distribution power systems. It can also make autonomous decisions to keep grids stable and reliable as more DERs come online. Using flexible input parameters, results can be quickly obtained for both radial and looped systems. Powerful calculation techniques allow engineers to choose the depth of system design and the associated results, and choose from a number of reporting formats.
Analysis of customer failure statistics show that, compared to other portions of electrical power systems, distribution system failures contribute as much as 90% towards the unavailability of supply to a load. These statistics show how important it is to assess the reliability of distribution systems.
This module is suitable for reliability analysis of large-scale distribution systems. By using this module, distribution system reliability can be assessed, and the merits of various resources and modifications can be quantitatively evaluated to make cost-effective decisions to achieve the greatest possible improvement in system reliability.
Reporting
All of these indices can be used to evaluate the reliability of an existing distribution system, and to provide useful planning information regarding improvements to existing systems and the design of new distribution systems.
Use of indices helps to efficiently model various power system elements and devices to include their effects on the distribution system reliability, such as fault isolation and load restoration through the operation of switching devices.
In order to analyze the sensitivity of reliability index EENS or ECOST with respect to failure rate of different elements, element contributions to that index and their rankings can be used. The rankings can be for a load point or the overall system.
The indices EENS, ECOST, and IEAR can be specifically for each load point, or for the overall system.
