Smart Grid Prediction and Restoration Advancements for the Achievement of Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract

In the domain of electric distribution, reliability can be defined as the ability or the degree to which a power system succeeds in its key goal of delivering electricity to the points of consumption, in the desired amounts, and within acceptable standards (Sultan and Hilton 2019). Reliability refers to service interruptions in an electrical grid, rather than to aspects of power quality. Various indices exist for measuring the reliability of a power system, two well-known ones being the “system average interruption duration index,” or SAIDI, and the “system average interruption frequency index,” or SAIFI. In addition, reliability studies fall into two well-established categories: System adequacy tackles the ability or the degree to which a power system’s generation and transmission capacity meet the aggregated consumer load demand, while satisfying its operational constraints. System securitypertains to the ability or the degree to which a power system maintains system...
