To analyze the influence of distribution network with grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) generation on the power supply reliability, in this paper it firstly regards interconnected PV generation as an equivalent generator with rated capacity as well as the island operation mode of PV to set up a model for reliability calculation and analysis. Based on the network equivalent method, the structure of distribution system with PV is simplified and then the reliability indexes of distribution system are worked out based on Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). At last, a comparative calculation between the distribution network with incorporated PV generations and that without PV generations is made. After analyzing a real example, the results suggest that integrating PV power generations reasonably into the distribution network can enhance the reliability of whole distribution system.

This paper presents a new method to determine the best configuration for a distribution system for a day considering Photovoltaic (PV) generation and load profile. In the first part, the hourly optimal configuration for a day is obtained by using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) and in second part; a selective approach based on minimum total daily power loss is used to select the optimal daily configuration. The proposed method is validated on IEEE 33 bus test system.
