Abstract

Demand for energy is on the increase posing serious complexity issues to power systems in general impacting reliability negatively. The electric power distribution grid is one of the most important entities in a power system contributing up to 90% of reliability problems. Reliability of the electric service provided to end users or load points can be altered by the faults originated either inside or outside of the functional zones of an electric power distribution grid. Reliability analyses of electric power systems in general is based on historical analysis approach where the historical outage data is used to assess the reliability performance of the generation, transmission or the distribution component of the power system. This approach even though gives the appropriate reliability indices indicating the performance of the electric power system component under consideration; however, the computed reliability indices are usually historic making any improvement decision(s) taken to be reactive. In this research article, the historical outage data is rather used to predict the performance of the electric power distribution grid into its future operations and maintenance activities. Analysis of predictive reliability (PR) normally helps in determining the performance state that the design, planning, and operation of the grid will attain when certain reliability objectives and associated performance outcomes are met. The PR is conducted by computing reliability indices using present fault rates, outage durations and number of affected customers. The predicted SAIFI, SAIDI, CAIDI, CAIFI and ASAI values of the years 2020, 2025, and 2030 gave an indication that the reliability of the electric power distribution grid within the metropolis would see varying monthly but improved yearly performances. Better performances regarding these indices are envisaged as the years advance towards the year 2030.
