Abstract
The most fundamental problems in the distribution system are the quality, the continuity, and the power supply. Political and economic changes were accompanied by changes in the structure of the electric load in the distribution network. Lack of investment and aging of the distribution company assets was accompanied by a decrease in the reliability of the distribution system. Identification and classification of assets from the point of view of their maintenance and replacement was one of the problems that were posed to the engineers. Fuzzy logic can be successfully used to evaluate distribution system reliability indices. In this paper fuzzy logic is used to evaluate the distribution system reliability indices of lines and transformers using six input variables. These variables considered the most important are: Age, Operation, Maintenance, Electrical current loading, Exposure and Weather conditions (Wind or Temperature). The fuzzy inferences knowledge-based IF-THEN rule is developed using Matlab Fuzzy software. The detailed analysis of the fuzzy system surfaces shows that the factors taken in consideration are dynamically and accurately connected to each other. The constructed rules based in engineering experience accurately represent the Reliability Indices.
Highlights
The distribution system reliability is an area that is gaining great importance
Asset Management is the combination of management, financial, economic and engineering applied to physical assets of power system with the objective of providing the required level of service in the most cost-effective manner [2]
The constructed rules based in engineering experience accurately represent the Reliability Indices
Summary
The distribution system reliability is an area that is gaining great importance. Grid development (long-term), Asset management (AM) (mid-term) and System operation (shortterm) are the main activities of power system reliability specialists [1]. The three processes were considered as separate activities. The distribution system focuses on improving performance while achieving greater customer satisfaction while ensuring that the costs of operating the grid are kept under control. In [3] the asset management is classified in different processes. The paper is organized as follows: Section 2 describes the distribution system reliability indices and Albanian. The conclusions at the end of the paper describe the advantages of the developed system
