| dc.description.abstract | Techniques for evaluating reliability are essential for designing and improving
distribution power networks. Renewable energy, distributed generation, en-
ergy storage, electric vehicles, protective device automation, and demand re-
sponse systems have been significantly implemented in distribution networks
in recent years. All of these technologies contribute to the network’s reliability. The purpose of this thesis is to provide a critical evaluation of reliability
evaluation techniques used for distribution network evaluation, emphasizing
the importance of increased penetration and more extensive application of
control, protection, and communication technologies by distributed energy
resources. Detailed analysis and comparison of the various techniques and
models used for dependability evaluation will be given for each technology
and the suggestions for its implementation. A case study will demonstrate
the features and modelling method of reliability evaluation tools for mod-
ern distribution networks. Uncertainties in architectural variables and issue
parameters are continuously required and should be seen as optimizing to
discover an optimum solution. In addition to various sampling techniques,
the solution’s efficacy may be statistically assessed. These approaches are
used in the conventional reliability-based optimization area in multiple ways. | en_US |
