Abstract

Power reliability and restoration are considered significantly challenging issues in the development of future smart grids. Different characteristics can impact the reliability and restoration process of the future power distribution system. Two of the main characteristics of future smart grids are the integration of hybrid renewable resources and the implementation of load-side management (LM) programs. In this paper, the impact of integrating wind and solar energies and also the application of LM programs on the reliability and restoration process is examined. Two LM programs are considered, load shifting and peak clipping. The system under study is part of the RBTS Bus 2, and SAIDI, SAIFI, and ENS system reliability indices are computed.
