OUTAGE COST COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT MEDIUM VOLTAGE NETWORKS

In this paper the costs of non-delivered energy (NDE) of a collection of generic distribution network models are compared. The network models are especially developed in order to enable detailed studies of the effects of high-speed automatic reclosing (HSAR) and delayed automatic reclosing (DAR) on the costs of NDE. Also the influence of using different levels of automation and sectionalisation on the outage costs of the different network layouts are studied.
