Abstract

Reliability in an electrical power system is the ability of the system to deliver electrical energy without any interruption. In the literature review, the analysis of the power system in low voltage (LV) network is less focused compared to the medium voltage (MV) and high voltage (HV) due to the absence of general exact data and sizing of the LV network. The LV network becomes complex when the sizing of the network increases. Thus, in this research, the performance of reliability in the LV network will be evaluated using an equivalent network by simplifying the network. This simplified network will reduce the simulation time. The performance in a complex network should first be evaluated before reliability assessments are carried out. The assessment of reliability is carried out using Monte-Carlo Simulation. The reliability indices, SAIFI, SAIDI and CAIDI between these two networks (detailed and equivalents network) are compared. The expected output in the detailed network will have the same or close readings of reliability indices as in an equivalent network
