Abstract
With the development of power electronics, DC distribution network has advantages in power supplying for DC loads, saving transmission loss of reactive power and improving power quality, when compared with traditional AC distribution network. Since DC distribution network has several multiple topologies, lots of power electronic components and DGs, the traditional reliability evaluation methods aren’t applicable any more. Hence, the reliability models of power electronics and DGs are built in this paper, and a hybrid method combining minimum-cut with non-sequential Monte Carlo is presented. Moreover, three topologies of mid-voltage DC distribution network are designed based on IEEE RBTS bus6, by which the feasibility of the method is validated. Results show that two-terminal network is more reliable than radial and looped network.
