Abstract
This thesis presents a simple technique for deducing minimal cut set
(MCS) from the defined minimal path set (MPS) of generic distribution
system and this technique have been used to evaluate the basic reliability
indices of Egypt’s Second Research Reactor (ETRR-2) electrical
distribution network. The alternative system configurations are then
studied to evaluate their impact on service reliability.
,
The proposed MCS approach considers’ both sustained and temporary
outage. The temporary outage constitutes an important parameter ill
characterizing the system reliability indices for critical load point in
distribution system. It is also consider the power quality impact on the
reliability indices.
This work is structured into six Chapters, a list of references, and two
appendices.
The first chapter provides an introduction of the thesis and contains a
brief review of Power System Reliability Evaluation, a literature review
of previous work concerning reliability evaluation techniques. Special’
attention is given to the minimal cut-set method, this chapter presents
also; thesis objective, contribution and thesis outlines.
Chapter 2; contains review of reliability evaluation techniques. Special
attention is given to the minimal cut-set methodology.
Chapter 3; different minimal cut set and minimal path set enumeration
~
methods were presented, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages
of each method. ABSTRACT

Chapter 4; proposes a simple technique to enumerate the MCS based on
the MPS. This method depends on constructing two matrices describing
the node input and node output links (NILM, NOLM), These matrices
simplify the representation of links by binary coding according to the
link incident to the node. As well as the NILM and NOLM memorize the
graph topology in the binary form. The back predecessors are obtained
easily from the two matrixes. Accordingly the MPS and MCS are
obtained. The minimal cut set approach is used in evaluating load point
reliability; then system reliability indices have been deduced. Temporary
outage cut-set and power quality impacts on reliability indices have been
considered.
Chapter 5; illustrates the application of the proposed method to obtain the
reliability indices for the electrical’ distribution system in ETRR-2
reactor.
Conclusion, Recommendations, and Suggestions for future work are the
