A practical, hands-on approach to power distribution system reliability As power distribution systems age, the frequency and duration of consumer interruptions will increase significantly. Now more than ever, it is crucial for students and professionals in the electrical power industries to have a solid understanding of designing the reliable and cost-effective utility, industrial, and commercial power distribution systems needed to maintain life activities (e.g., computers, lighting, heating, cooling, etc.). This books fills the void in the literature by providing readers with everything they need to know to make the best design decisions for new and existing power distribution systems, as well as to make quantitative "cost vs. reliability" trade-off studies. Topical coverage includes: Engineering economics Reliability analysis of complex network configurations Designing reliability into industrial and commercial power systems Application of zone branch reliability methodology Equipment outage statistics Deterministic planning criteria Customer interruption for cost models for load-point reliability assessment Isolation and restoration procedures And much more Each chapter begins with an introduction and ends with a conclusion and a list of references for further reading. Additionally, the book contains actual utility and industrial power system design problems worked out with real examples, as well as additional problem sets and their solutions. Power Distribution System Reliability is essential reading for practicing engineers, researchers, technicians, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in electrical power industries.Content: Chapter 1 Outline of the Book (pages 1–11): Chapter 2 Fundamentals of Probability and Statistics (pages 13–43): Chapter 3 Reliability Principles (pages 45–77): Chapter 4 Applications of Simple Reliability Models (pages 79–96): Chapter 5 Engineering Economics (pages 97–109): Chapter 6 Reliability Analysis of Complex Network Configurations (pages 111–151): Chapter 7 Designing Reliability into Industrial and Commercial Power Systems (pages 153–189): Chapter 8 Zone Branch Reliability Methodology (pages 191–253): Chapter 9 Equipment Outage Statistics (pages 255–265): Chapter 10 Historical Assessment (pages 267–284): Chapter 11 Deterministic Criteria (pages 285–300): Chapter 12 Important Factors Related to Distribution Standards (pages 301–315): Chapter 13 Standards for Reregulated Distribution Utility (pages 317–335): Chapter 14 Customer Interruption Cost Models for Load Point Reliability Assessment (pages 337–356): Chapter 15 Value?Based Predictive Reliability Assessment (pages 357–374): Chapter 16 Isolation and Restoration Procedures (pages 375–394): Chapter 17 Meshed Distribution System Reliability (pages 395–414): Chapter 18 Radial Feeder Reconfiguration Analysis (pages 415–426): Chapter 19 Distributed Generation (pages 427–439): Chapter 20 Models for Spare Equipment (pages 441–452): Chapter 21 Voltage Sags and Surges at Industrial and Commercial Sites (pages 453–487):
