Abstract
To evaluate the reliability of distribution network containing distributed generations (DGs), at first the stochastic characteristics of power output of wind power generation and microturbine (MT) are researched, and a reliability model of hybrid generation consisting of DG is built. The Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) algorithm is applied to a modified main feeder of RBTS Bus 6 distribution network. The wind turbine (WT) generator is an example to establish the reliability of distributed power intermittent assessment model. Finally, the reliability of RBTS Bus 6 is evaluated by the built model and the proposed algorithm. This evaluation results show that the penetration of DG can improve the reliability indices of the distribution network.
