Reliability Evaluation of Power Distribution System with Reliability Index Assessment (RIA)

Abstract

Distribution network system reliability is a measure of the level of service of the system of electricity supply to consumers. This study aimed to get some reliability index value of the electricity distribution network system at PT PLN (Persero) APJ Bandung, namely the failure rate, the average output time, the average annual unavailability, SAIFI, SAIDI, CAIDI, ENS and then AENS. These results will be used as a reference for determining the level of reliability of the system. Search reliability index value itself is done by way of basic data recap interference on each unit in the network (UPJ) and then calculating the index of reliability by using formulas reliability index. The results of this study, the value of reliability indices SAIFI on the system 2.02 disorders / customer / year with a target of 1.27 disorders / customer / year, while the reliability index SAIDI on the system 0.28 hours / customer / year with a target of 0.21 hours / customer / year, with these results show electric power distribution network system of PT PLN (Persero) APJ Bandung could not reach the target reliability especially SAIFI and SAIDI. The results of this study are also expected to give an idea of the level of system reliability of electric power distribution network PT PLN (Persero) APJ Bandung.
