Each individual component has its own characteristics, including its reliability. The power supply reliability will be measured, monitored, evaluated by using some number of performance matrices, mainly for: i) frequency of outages (SAIFI, ASIFI) and ii) duration of outages (SAIDI, ASIDI, and CAIDI). These matrices are based onsustained outages. Sustained interruptions are those that last more than five minutes [1]. This paper presents and analyzes the statistical performance matrices for the previous 10 years for the distribution system in Egypt and how it can be used to help electricity Distribution Companies (EDCs) to improve the reliability of their networks' electric components. %U https://iceeng.journals.ekb.eg/article_30154_ab0cef39f794ef779f90fd7bf7711958.pdf
