Abstract

Abstract:
This paper presents a novel algorithm for adequacy assessment of electrical distribution
system including distributed generation. A comparison between the proposed technique
and the state duration sampling technique is performed. The proposed technique is
integrated with Monte Carlo simulation method to carry out reliability analysis of
typical distribution system. The results obtained are presented and discussed.
