Abstract
This paper presents a simulation model used to determine the importance of every single asset in a given medium voltage network. Each asset is ranked on the basis of the outage costs caused by its failure. In this way, sensitive areas in the grid can be detected and maintenance of the net can be organized in such a way as to maximize the cost-profit rate.
