Applications of Reliability Analysis (1)

„ Weak-point analysis
• Causes of interruptions / interruption cost
• Comparison of countermeasures
„ Comparison between different planning variants
• Does lower cost necessarily mean poor reliability?
„ Importance of components for reliability centered
maintenance planning
• Prioritization of those maintenance actions with high system impact
„ Comparison between different network structures
• E.g. ring feeder / radial feeder
„ Comparison between different topologies of substations

systems
„ Reliability of the network connection of a generation unit
• Cost of power delivery interruption
„ Comparison of the network connection of different customers
• Knowledge about the interruption cost of customers
„ Penalty payments for different contracts
• Analyses for preparing new offers for special customers and tariff
customers
„ Variant comparison for automation (remote controlled
disconnectors) in distribution networks
• Equal/better solutions with less primary technology

transformer, generator, induction machine, busbar, disconnector, circuit breaker,
coupler...)
A component has his own reliability data.

Network Model

Reliability analysis needs a detailed network representation.


Based on a load flow model, the following information has to be
added:

„ Topology of stations (single busbar, double busbars,…)


„ Switching devices: disconnectors, circuit breakers, couplers
„ Duration of switching operations (automatic / remote controlled /
local)
„ Tripping direction of circuit breakers
„ Special protection concepts (differential, backup function)
„ System grounding (direct / compensated / isolated)
„ Load / generation characteristics
„ Modeling of Interruption costs

Pr min/yr Expected probability of interruption
T h Average duration of interruptions
P MW/yr Expected interrupted power / power not supplied

Examples of Customer Requirements

„ Weaving mill, car manufacturer


• Each supply interruption causes a production restart.
• Interruption frequency F is important
„ Warehouse for frozen foods, food manufacturer
• The longer an interruption duration, the more the temperature
increases.
• Interruption duration T is important
„ Metal processing company
• Production loss is proportional to interruption frequency and repair
duration
• Interruption probability Q is important

NEPLAN® www.neplan.ch 12
IEEE Standard Reliability Indices

SAIFI 1/yr System average interruption frequency index
