Customer Scattering Effect on Distribution System Reliability

This paper presents the customer scattering effect on distribution system reliability with Distributed Generation. In this, radial system with thirteen load points is considered and analyzed for six patterns of customer variation. The performance is observed with DG and without DG at different points along the feeder and analyzed customer scattering effect for optimum location of DG in terms of system reliability. Analysis determines the optimum DG location for improvement of system reliability varies with the customer scattering patterns.
