IEEE 1366- Reliability Indices
IEEE Boston Section- February 19, 2019 John Teixeira, National Grid Some Important Definitions Purpose of IEEE-1366
1. To foster uniformity in the development of distribution service reliability indices and to aid in consistent reporting practices among utilities.
2. To provide guidance for new personnel in the reliability area and to provide tools for internal as well as external comparisons.
National Grid 3 What’s a customer
Customer: “A metered electrical service point for which an active bill account is established at a specific location.”
Sounds like common sense.
Just remember: A Three-decker is three customers. An apartment building may be 100 customers.
Load doesn’t matter. Population doesn’t matter.
National Grid 4 Interruption vs. Outage
Interruption: Outage: “The total loss of electric power on one or more “The loss of ability of a component to deliver normally energized conductors to one or more power.” customers connected to the distribution portion of the system.”
Does not include “Power Quality” issues (sags, swells, etc.)
Part power? Loss of “power” not “voltage”?
Distinction: Interruption refers to CUSTOMERS Outage refers to EQUIPMENT
National Grid 5 Momentary vs. Sustained Interruption
Momentary Interruption: Sustained Interruption: “The brief loss of power delivery to one or more “Any interruption not classified as a part of a customers caused by the opening and closing momentary event. That is, any interruption that operation of an interrupting device.” lasts more than five minutes.”
Each recloser operation is a separate Some companies and/or jurisdictions may use momentary interruption one minute or some other interval.
The original intent was probably to exclude interruptions restored by automatic operation
National Grid 6 Duration and Step Restoration
Interruption Duration: Step Restoration: “The time period from the initiation of an “The process of restoring all interrupted interruption until service has been restored to customers in stages over time.” the affected customers.”
National Grid 7 Fundamental Factors
CI = Customers Interrupted
CMI = Customer Minutes Interrupted
CS = Customers Served (IEEE 1366 call this NT)
National Grid 8 CAIDI and Her Sisters The Big Three- SAIFI, SAIDI, CAIDI
SAIFI (System Average Interruption Frequency Index): How often the average customer experiences an interruption
SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) The total number of minutes (or hours) of interruption the average customer experiences
CAIDI (Customer Average Interruption Duration Index) The average time required to restore service Be careful with this one. The numbers can be deceiving.
National Grid 10 Comments on the Big Three
Sustained interruptions only (no momentary)
Usually applied over a specified time period (typically one year)
Usually applied over a specified customer base (typically an entire system, state, town, feeder, etc.)
Averages can be deceiving. If the average system SAIFI is 0.5. That’s pretty good. But if 90% of customers had no interruptions and 10% had 5, is that good?
