Abstract :
This work is aimed at making a comprehensive evaluation of the probability density functions (PDFs) of a set of reliability indices applied to electricity distribution systems - including frequency and duration of interruptions, power and energy not supplied. By considering the number of occurrences and duration of the interruptions as random variables (RVs), the indices become RVs and are evaluated through analytical expressions for computing their expected values and variances and with the Monte Carlo method in order to obtain the PDFs.
