1. Standard for power quality
Organizations responsible for developing power quality standards:
➢ Mitigation guidelines.

2. Reliability
• Definition: Reliability is the ability of a power system to deliver
electricity to all connected loads without interruption and within
acceptable limits.
• Importance of Reliability:
➢ Essential for economic growth, public safety, and modern society.
➢ Unreliable power systems lead to:
• Economic losses (e.g., industrial downtime).
• Safety risks (e.g., failure of critical systems like hospitals).
• Customer dissatisfaction.
• Reliability Metrics
➢ SAIFI (System Average Interruption Frequency Index)
➢ SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index)
➢ CAIFI (Customer Average Interruption Frequency Index)

2. Reliability
• CAIDI (Customer Average Interruption Duration Index): CAIDI represents the
average interruption duration for customers experiencing interruptions. In other
words, this is the average restoration time for affected customers.

Example 1
The following data is collected over one year for 10 households:
• Number of outages: 3 outages occurred in the year.
1. Outage 1: Affected 6 households for 2 hours.
2. Outage 2: Affected 8 households for 3 hours.
3. Outage 3: Affected 5 households for 1 hour.
• Total customers (households): 10
Calculate SAIFI, SAIDI, and CAIDI?
Example 2
Let's assume the following for a power system supplying five different villages:
Calculate SAIFI, SAIDI, and CAIDI?
Village A 500 3% 4
Village B 800 2% 2
Village C 600 5% 3
Village D 1000 1% 1
Village E 300 4% 5
Example 3
Let's assume the following for a power system supplying a village:
Calculate SAIFI, SAIDI? Let’s assume Average Duration of Affected customers is 5h.
