Abstract

This paper presents a practical method for calculating a power user’s customer interruption costs (CIC) under specific conditions. This novel method has been developed, based on the CIC results predicted by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), so that the key factors, such as customer type, customer size, interruption occurrence time and interruption duration can be considered. As compared to the LBNL method, the method proposed here is easy to understand and easy to execute with an acceptable error. It lays a solid foundation for further investigation of distributed generators and demand response in assessing reliability value of smart distribution grid (SDG). The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed through the assessment of RBTS-Bus2.
