Abstract

This paper modeled and analyzed the reliability performance of the 132/33 kV substation in Abuja, Nigeria through the historical data collected from the APO substation using MATLAB 2021b. The probability distribution model was applied to determine the daily feeder’s outage using Reliability, availability, mean time to repair (MTR), Failure rate, distribution indices, and mean time between failures (MTBF). Due to the application of smart energy meters, the use of prepaid energy meters has helped to regulate energy demand, reduce network overloading especially during peak hours, and minimize the cost of energy consumed. There are more forced failures in the distribution system due to the switchgear and Transformer failures. There are more forced failures in the distribution system since 2013, which caused a reduction in the number of interruptions even with an increase in several customers linked to the transmission network. The result shows that the system was most available in the year 2015 with an average service availability index (ASAI) value of 98.9971%. The system was least available in year 2011 with an ASAI value of 98.6558%. The paper recommended that there should be interconnections between different feeders through proper configuration of switches or reclosers, to reduce failure occurrence in the network.

Abstract

Electricity outages are frequently caused due to problems in the electric distribution system (EDS). The method presented in this research describes a comprehensive dual-phased designed to enhance the electric network efficiency and reliability. A hybrid particle-firefly optimization method is applied in the first phase to allocate reclosers and sectionalizer in an optimal accessible path. Furthermore, in the second phase, the Medium distribution voltage Systems that comprises five main circuit breaker and one power source are taken into consideration, as well as automatic  load shift to an alternative power supply and the secondary circuit breaker shut down under normal conditions. The authors provide a streamlined technique based on swapping out loads discrete to determine the reduction value of the anticipated energy not-supplied (ENS) and cost of energy not-supplied (CENS) to customers after installing sectionalizer and recloser in APO radial substation network. The optimized CENS with protective device of the distribution system is tremendously reduce compared to the CENS of the conventional state which has no protective scheme.
