Fault Incidence Matrix Based Reliability Evaluation Method for Complex Distribution System

A fast reliability calculation method based on the fault incidence matrix (FIM) for the complex distribution system is proposed in this paper. First, the M-segment-N-tie-switch (MSNT) reliability calculation unit for the complex distribution network is established and the power supply path matrix is obtained by inversing the node branch incidence matrix of the MSNT unit. Then, three types of FIMs are constructed considering the influence type of each fault event on the load points. Finally, the system reliability indexes are calculated through the algebraic operation between the FIMs and the fault event parameter vectors. The accuracy and the efficiency of this method are verified using the IEEE RBTS bus-6 system. The reliability evaluation method proposed in this paper avoids complicated fault event enumeration and repetitive fault influence range searching, thus, saves the computation time greatly. And more importantly, the analytical expression of the reliability indexes in the matrix form can clearly show the influence of each fault event on each load interruption. So, it is convenient for the reliability sensitivity analysis and helpful for the operator with the reliability improvement planning.
