Abstract
• Integrated assessment of adequacy and power quality; • Three short circuit indices are proposed to support distribution system planning; • Tests with different line geometries illustrate the relevance of the proposed approach; • Results support protection setting and equipment inventory management. This work presents a probabilistic approach, based on a sequential Monte Carlo simulation procedure, to evaluate reliability, power quality and short circuit indices in an integrated manner. With respect to previous works, short circuit related indices are included within the evaluation approach and their application in setting protective devices and planning device stock levels is highlighted. Numerical results for different line configurations are provided in order to verify their impact in the occurrence of customer interruptions, voltage signal deviations and fault current indicators.
