Introduction
Importance
The distribution reforms have been identified as the key area for putting the power sector on the right track. The strategies identified are aimed at improving financial viability, reduction of sub T&D losses, improving customer satisfaction, increasing reliability and quality of power supply and adopting systems approach with MIS. Customer satisfaction is one of the objective under Restructured Accelerated Power Development & Reform Programme, a Government of India assistance cum loan intervention aiming at improvement of subtransmission and distribution system in the country. Investment to the tune of Rs. 50,000 crores is proposed to be made by the Government of India towards IT implementation and distribution infrastructure strengthening. Indirectly or directly customer satisfaction is concerned with improving and modernization of the T&D network. Customer satisfaction can be improved through providing better quality power in terms of voltage and frequency fluctuations and reliability by reducing outages. These necessarily call for technical intervention in, firstly, ensuring that the assets already created are maintained in proper working condition and secondly through augmenting the system. Further customer complaint redressal mechanism are to be made more responsive and proactive through building transparent and reliable system with the help of computerization. The system should be capable enough to meet the growing demand of information conscious customers. When the expectation of the customer is more than the fulfillment there is resentment and the customer is reluctant to pay the bils. On the other hand when his expectations are met the customer is satisfied and he may be less reluctant to share marginal increase in the tariff.
Objective
The objective of reliability monitoring is manifold and is as follows:
Draft
Furnish management with performance data regarding the quality of customer service on the electrical system as a whole and for each voltage level and operating area. Provide data for analysis to determine reliability of service in a given area (geographical, political, operating, etc) to determine how factors such as design differences, environment or maintenance methods, and operating practices affect performance. To identify substations and feeders with substandard performance and to ascertain the causes and to take remedial measures accordingly.
SAIFI=
Ai = Total no. of sustained interruptions (each longer than 5 minutes) on the ith feederfor the month Ni = Connected load of ith feeder affected due to each interruption Nt = Total connected load at 11kV in the Distribution licensees supply area n = No. of 11kV feeders in the licensed area of supply (excluding those serving predominantly agricultural connections)
SAIDI=
Draft
The following factors, which affect reliability indices, shall also be considered subject to availability of data: Momentary interruptions on 33kV and 11kV feeders. Momentary incoming supply failures Pre-arranged shutdowns on lines and feeders Breakdown on LT feeders Blowing of transformer fuses both HV and LV individual fuse off calls
Computations
For computation of the reliability indices, two sub-divisions of urban, industrial and rural categories each shall be chosen in DHBVNs area of supply. Data from these sub-divisions may be collected on daily basis as per the data sheet attached at the end of this report. It is to be noted that for computations of these reliability indices, feeders serving predominantly agricultural connections in urban and industrial sub-divisions are to be excluded. The following sub-divisions have been chosen for calculation of reliability indices: Civil lines s/div, Hisar (Urban) DLF s/div, Gurgaon (Urban) KCG Division, Gurgaon (Industrial) Industrial s/div, Ballabhgarh (Industrial) Sub urban s/div, Sirsa (Rural) Ateli s/div, Narnaul (Rural)
Draft
It is pertinent to mention that the data from the sub-divisions shall be collected and SAIFI and SAIDI will be calculated on daily basis. However, for the purpose of analysis, the monthly value of SAIFI and SAIDI shall be considered.
Conclusion
In our country maintaining of power supply has gained momentum and utilities have started monitoring through the above indices. The reporting process of reliability indices must begin with monthly submission of these indices to the State Regulatory Commissions for publishing in the newspaper etc. These indices must be displayed in each work location. This process will reinforce the point that reliability issues at the work location do impact the overall utility programme and all efforts will be made to improve the same with a target bound programme. Statistical approach to reliability monitoring will also assist the regulators to set more optimum performance standards so that the consumers are compensated for poor performance of the utility and the utillity is incentivised for more than expected performance. Reliability is a random process. It is to be seen how often these standards are violated and what corrective actions are taken to bring them within limits.

Note: Breakdowns/ shutdowns/ trippings on voltage levels of 33kV, 66kV, 132kV and 220kV should be included to calculate the frequency and duration of interruptions for each 11kV feeder affected due to such interruptions
