Abstract

This paper presents an analytical technique for evaluating the reliability of a distribution system, including distributed generation. Unlike the large-scale generation of the transmission system, distributed generation (DG) creates difficulties in evaluating reliability indices due to the complexity of the operation status. Explicit expressions for analyzing the reliability of distributed generation are proposed in this paper. The technique proposed includes the characteristics of DG, such as operation mode to mix peaking and standby modes and the failure of starting and DG itself
