Evaluation of reliability for Sulaimania distribution network

Abstract EN

An effective reliability program for assessment and planning distribution networks is impossible without the collection, recording, analysis of the data and information obtained through the testing and operation of the different equipment's and elements of the distribution system, as well as without the recording, retrieval, and use of information gained through experience with all manner of components, systems, machines, environments user stresses, and human errors.

The main objective of this paper is to study the different outages of the feeders of five main substations in Sulaimania City, namely Rizgari, Malkandy, Shaheed, Industrial, and Azmar.

Data were collected for five years, these data are classified and analyzed in order to calculate the most important reliability indices, such as μ, λ, u, A, R, Q.......

etc for the different distribution feeders and reliability indices concerned substations such as SAIFI, SAIDI, CAIDI,…..

etc.

Data collection methodology is suggested, so that to establish reliability data base system, for facilitating of achievement reliability studies.
