Resilience and reliability analysis of medium voltage distribution network

This paper presents a case study evaluating the resilience and reliability of a medium voltage (MV) distribution network using a zone-based model defined by remotely controlled load break switches (LBS). The reliability analysis leverages two years of fault data to calculate SAIDI and SAIFI indices and identifies critical LBS based on their impact on these metrics when unavailable. The resilience analysis explores LBS unavailability through three system restoration scenarios, assessing Energy Not Supplied (ENS) and its progression over time.
