Abstract
A fundamental review of the philosophy of distribution network operation and design is carried out to inform the industry, consumers, regulator and government, and facilitate a cost effective delivery of the UK Government energy policy objectives. Within the review potential benefit of load transfer capacity used to improve the reliability performance of the system is quantified. This is the subject addressed within this paper, showing used methodology and analysed case studies. The cost-benefit analysis is used to establish the reliability and cost performance of various network designs and emergency operation strategies. Potential benefit of load transfer capacity is calculated for different drivers: network loading, topology, voltage level, construction, and assets failure rate. It is found that the value of LTC is higher in low reliable networks and in systems with higher load. The value of LTC is less sensitive towards the number of supplied substations.
