its reliability is high say 99.999%, and RTU 99.99% [12]. power system reliability and system planning.

VIII. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION he is MSc student in electrical Dept. Sulaimany
University.
From the collected data in tables 2 and 3, calculated data in
tables 4 to 6,and the figures 10 to 12, we can see obviously
high outages of RTU’s, and the cause behind this is lack of
spare parts, unavailability of instrumentation for checking the
existing apparatus and unreliable communication links.
