 System-wide Reliability Indices

• System Average Interruption Duration Index

(SAIDI)
• Historical assessment:
Total Duration of Customer Interruptions
SAIDI 
Total Number of Customers Served

• Predictive assessment: Uses Load Point Indices

where Nlp = number of customers at load point lp

and Ulp = interruption duration at load point lp
