dc.description.abstractDistribution network planners carry out analyses of the power distribution network that may include studies like faults, sensitivity analysis and reliability assessment to enhance the robustness of the network. System reliability is the ability of the power system to provide an adequate supply of electrical power at a desired time without interruption. This paper focuses on reliability assessment of distribution network. It involves the determination of the reliability indices which explain the dependability of the system. Fifteen 11kV feeders are considered and the required data of the feeders to be used in this study were sourced from the chosen power utility company in Nigeria. A power system software called ETAP was used in computational process. The reliability indices of the chosen network were computed, and the results obtained are presented. From the results, the performance of these Fifteen 11kV feeders are classified into three; Best, averagely and poorly performing feeders, and they are highlighted using tables and charts. The results are discussed and analyzed. The findings from the study indicate that some feeders have very good reliability indices while some are having average values and others are with poor reliability indices. The most critical feeders that need improvement were identified.
