Reliability of Active Distribution Network Considering Uncertainty of Distribution Generation and Load

Abstract

An active distribution network is an important development trend of the power grid with widespread use of the distributed generation. The reliability of the active distribution network is not negligible due to the uninterruptible power supply. In the paper, the reliability evaluation method of the active distribution network is proposed in detail, based on combining the roulette wheel selection and the sequential Monte Carlo algorithm. The uncertainty of both the distribution generation and the load is taken into consideration based on the power probability distribution and the working state in the presented model. Furthermore, the IEEE-RBTS Bus 6 is used to verify the validity of the proposed method. The result shows that the new energy access improves the availability and the reliability of the active distribution network.
