Evaluation of distribution network reliability index using Loop Restoration Scheme

In this study, to evaluate the reliability of network distribution system at Gresik area, Loop Restoration Scheme method is applied. This method is used to control the distribution system on every feeder that has a function to increase the reliability of the system. After applying this method, the information of the reliability level can be obtained and hopefully it will make a good impact. With the LRS method implementation for the PLN distribution system, it will provide a good refinement to the value of reliability index and becomes key point for further application. The reliability index values during normal conditions of PT PLN configuration with the conditions after applying the method of LRS on the distribution system is compared and analyzed. From the result of applied system, it can be informed that the distance is quiet significant and has better results.
