Power supply reliability evaluation based on the characteristics mode of large-scale medium voltage distribution network

It is difficult to evaluate and analyze power supply reliability of large-scale medium voltage distribution network by detailed modeling method. The paper proposes a power supply reliability evaluation method of large-scale medium voltage distribution network, which is based on the network reliability characteristics model. Lines with similar structural characteristics are designated as one model. The reliability index of each mode can be represented by the typical lines. The assessment principle, process and the advantages of this method are elaborated. The medium voltage distribution network of Nanjing area is taken as an example to evaluate power supply reliability. And the results are compared with historical statistics. The result shows that the method can greatly reduce the workload and has high accuracy. It can be used to evaluate the reliability of large-scale medium voltage distribution network. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications Switzerland.
