Why is it important?

In this work, authors attempt to identify the causes of power interruptions and customer’s dissatisfaction. Additionally, the authors discuss design, maintenance, reliability and operation of Hawassa distribution feeder number 10, Ethiopia. Reliability worth is highly significant in power system planning and operation. A distributed generation (DG) ensures reliability improvement and it is used to increase the reliability worth. Hence in this work authors present the study of a radial distribution system and illustrate the impact of placing DG (solar photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine (WT)) and battery energy storage on the reliability worth.
