Development of reliability analysis system of transmission network for primary substations

This paper describes the development of the reliability analysis system for transmission systems from primary substations on high-voltage trunk line systems to distribution substations. This system has been developed on an engineering workstation. The user can input the network data of power systems from primary substations to distribution substations and the structure of buses and connections of transformers in substations using graphics. This analysis system can evaluate reliability at each distribution substation by simulating outage and recovery process for all fault modes which can occur, defining the capacity of facilities, probability of fault at each facility, the value of load at each bank, and the points where switching elements are turned off in the network as input data. In the calculation of the recovery process of each fault mode, the constraints of operation of radial power systems are considered.
