Abstract :
An algorithm is presented to evaluate the distribution system reliability, which takes into account load switching to another alternative source of feeding with reserve capacity in normally open points, considering feeders that operate in radial form. Also considered is the load curve of the supply points and the cost of the energy not supplied.
