Abstract

These days, considering the importance of reliability in industries, utilities’ role for preparing high levels of reliability becomes more important. This can be done by adding numbers of switches and Tie switches which impose high expenses to system. These expenditures should be provided by customers. Level of reliability in different points of network is different. So customers which pay more, receive higher level of reliability. If a customer raises its payment, utility change the location of switches in order to raise level of reliability of that customer. all customers change their payment and then utility fixes the switches at a point that all customers reach their favorable reliability. Moreover, there are some customers called “free riders”. They receive high levels of reliability because of their closeness to the customers who pay much and utility provide them high level of reliability. So free riders get high level of reliability without paying much. Therefore, a solution is needed for the mentioned problems.
