An Outage of Overhead and Underground Distribution Network Evaluation Assessment

Abstract:

Frequent and major power interruptions cause many concerns. Assessment of customer power supply reliability is an important part of distribution operation and planning. Many factors are responsible in the reliability of power network; design, construction, operation and maintenance which have their combined effect to overall performance of power network reliability. Analysis of outage data from both OH and UG distribution system of Abuja network is carried out assess their reliability indices. Predictive assessment of distribution reliability indices can be used to identify areas that have poor reliability so that appropriate approach can be taken in the system design and implementation. This paper presents assessment of reliability indices in a practical radial distribution network particularly with the interest of comparison the reliability of OH and UG distribution system. UG is more reliable than OH but takes longer duration in fault restoration.
