Delivery reliability optimalization in distribution systems with backup coverage

Abstract

The basic two requirements for distribution systems include the maximum economic efficiency and reliability. Higher reliability can be achieved by considering such criterion when optimising. While a number of approaches [1], [2] or [3] have been published in terms of economic efficiency of distribution systems, the literature does not include much about modelling their structure. In our article, higher reliability will be achieved through the so-called backup coverage of the customer. The purpose of this article is to familiarise the readers with the optimisation approach to handle this issue based on a mathematical model. The article includes a mathematical model and sample example verifying its functionality. The mathematical model solution has been performed using the Xpress-IVE optimisation software. Structure optimalization of distribution system with backup coverage can be applied in a wide range of supplies. This article aims to familiarize readers with the theoretical part, where it will be given a mathematical model. Following the example of a solution procedure using an optimalization system Xpress – IVE.
