Analysis of distribution network by reliability indices

A distribution network links the bulk power system to the utilities or customers. The reliability of such a system is assessed by the performance at the customer end, i.e., at the load points. This paper presents the comparison and performance some of the reliability indices by increment of load in equal and unequal mode on every node. Hence, it helps to find out a healthy mode of increment of load for 33-node distribution network. The results show that a multiplying factor is suitable for the increment of load at various nodes for a distribution system.
