Abstract :
The aim of this two-part paper is to present a comprehensive reliability-centerd maintenance framework tailored to power distribution systems. The first paper discusses the fundamental concepts, presents the developed algorithm, and introduces the required mathematical formulations. This second paper is focused on the application of the proposed methodology on a real distribution system. Considerable effort is devoted to examine the proposed method in a step-by-step manner to clarify the implementation procedure. The required data for the procedure are taken from available references and follow reasonable technical assumptions. Practical aspects are incorporated, and the results obtained are thoroughly discussed. The concluding remarks are outlined to summarize the paper set which also brings to light superiorities of the proposed scheme.
