RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS METHOD COMPARISON IN FINNISH RELIABILITY WORTH STUDY

In Finland, Helsinki University of Technology and Tampere University of Technology as well as several Finnish distribution network companies worked on a common project concerning the updating of reliability worth values in 2004-2005 [1]. This paper presents the research, analysis and strategic response elimination methods used in this study. There are several methods to calculate and normalize the reliability worth parameters, and the results may differ significantly depending on which method is applied. The principles of the calculating methods are also presented.
