Composite system reliability evaluation incorporating a six-phase transmission line

Composite system reliability studies incorporating a six-phase transmission line are presented. Both load-point and system indices are used to examine the impact on the individual bus and overall system reliability of incorporating a six-phase transmission line. Comparative studies are conducted in order to investigate the impact of the location of a six-phase transmission line on the load-point and system reliability indices. The worth of employing the six-phase transmission line is expressed in terms of the reduction in the customer interruption cost. The results are illustrated using a small test system.
