Predictive distribution reliability analysis considering post fault restoration and coordination failure

Calculation of predicted distribution reliability indexes can be implemented using a distribution analysis model and the algorithms defined by Distribution System Reliability Handbook, EPRI Project 1356-1 Final Report. The calculation of predicted reliability indexes is fairly straightforward until post fault restoration and coordination failure are included. This paper presents the methods used to implement predictive reliability with consideration for post fault restoration and coordination failure into a distribution analysis software model.
