Reliability analysis of distribution system based on the minimum cut-set method

As the end point of power delivery, a distribution system is directly connected with the consumers. It has complex structures and various operation modes which make the reliability even more important. However, the traditional FMEA cannot be applied to the complex distribution system which contains ring networks. Taking the capacity constraint of distribution system into consideration, this paper analyzes the reliability of IEEE DRTS system with FMEA based on the minimum cut set.
