Abstract
Energy audit and reliability assessment of distribution systems are important to keep track of power system's performance. It helps to minimize power interruptions to customers, boost industrialization, research, and economic development in any country or community. This chapter presents the reliability assessment of power distribution systems in Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. A critical assessment of the power distribution process was carried out with data obtained from the central Substation, taking into account various reliability indices. Furthermore, the load consumption of each substation was considered for the period of January to December, 2017. The results obtained show that the University attained a power availability (ASAI) of 0.99984 because of the presence of strategically placed distributed generators (DGs). The reliability assessment revealed SAIDI as 1.4347 hours/customer year, CAIDI as 0.6620 hours/customer interruption, ASUI as 0.00016, and SAIFI as 2.16712 failures/ customer year.
