EGH454 Tutorial Problem

Consider the following distribution network, with the corresponding data in the table.

 Find load point indices,

 Find system indices,
 Find all indices, with and without the Normally Open(N/O) switch,
 Find all indices, if every main feeder has two isolators, one at each end,
 Find all indices, if feeders have capacity constraint.

Basic distribution reliability data:

Average manual isolator switch time 0.5 Hr
Average N/O switch time 1.0 Hr
Main feeder fault rate 0.1 failure/km-yr
Main feeder repair time 3.0 Hrs
Lateral feeder fault rate 0.2 failure/km-yr
Lateral feeder repair time 1.0 Hr
Number of Customers at different load points:
Load point A 100
Load point B 120
Load point C 150
Load point D 150
Customer Load at different load points:
Load point A 100 kW
Load point B 200 kW
Load point C 400 kW
Load point D 400 kW

Data associated with feeders’ capacity constraint:

4 km main feeder 800 kW

3 km main feeder 600 kW
2 km main feeder 400 kW
6 km main feeder 800 kW

1 km lateral feeder 100 kW

2 km lateral feeder 200 kW
3 km lateral feeder 400 kW
4 km lateral feeder 400 kW
