Abstract
This paper presents an approach for assessing the benefit of island operation of variable distributed generation (DG) in improving reliability in radial distribution networks. The proposed approach employs the risk-based procedure to obtain the best network automation scenario in the presence of variability of loads and variability and uncertainty of distribution generation. The automation scenario defines the number, type and location of automation devices to be allocated in the network to enable optimal creation of islands and thus to minimize the expected reliability cost. This cost consists of the cost of interruptions to customers and the cost of automation devices. By varying the level of variability and uncertainty of DG production different automation scenarios and corresponding reliability costs are obtained using the risk procedure. Based on these results the value of island operation of DGs in improving reliability in radial distribution networks is assessed.
