Abstract

In this paper, educational software for the reliability assessment of high/medium-voltage (HV/MV) substations and distribution feeders is presented. It is a useful tool for learning the utility of reliability indices of the HV/MV substations and their distribution feeders, and their influence on the electrical power system operation. By means of an interactive graphical interface, multiple configurations of HV/MV substation layouts can be selected. The Monte Carlo method and the equipment outages have been used to calculate the expected reliability performance of substations and primary distribution feeders. The proposed educational tool has been evaluated to measure students' satisfaction, and questionnaire and results of this evaluation are presented and discussed.
