As the power industry moves towards open competition, there has been a call for methodology to evaluate power system reliability by using composite interruption cost. This paper presents algorithms to evaluate the interruption cost of distribution power systems by taking into consideration the failure source and the composite customer interruption cost. From the consumer's standpoint, the composite customer interruption cost is considered as the most valuable index to estimate the reliability of a power distribution system. This paper presents new algorithms that take into account the load by customer type and failure probability by distribution facilities while calculating the amount of unserved energy by customer type. Finally, evaluation results of unserved energy and system interruption cost based on composite customer interruption cost are shown in detail.

In this paper, the survey results of the interruption on domestic residential customer with primary focus on the cost are presented. General method utilized in quantifying the benefit of reliability on power system is to estimate the Customer Interruption Cost(CIC) associated with the electric service interruption. According to change the circumstance of electricity market by the deregulation and the introduction of new technology, reliable and accurate CIC is required for estimate the applied plan and technology under the circumstance. This paper presents the residential customer interruption cost is estimated by the survey conducted by KEPCO in 2009. To collect the customer interruption data for calculation of CIC, the survey is conducted. The survey targeting residential customer around the branch-offices under twelve regional headquarters of KEPCO was carried out.

It is increased for methodology to evaluate distribution power system interruption cost in power supply zones under competitive electricity market. This paper presents algorithms to evaluate system interruption cost in distribution power supply zones taking into consideration failure rate of distribution facilities and composite customer interruption cost. In this paper, it is introduced for weighting factor for each customer failure duration and failure rate of distribution facilities to evaluate reasonable system interruption cost in distribution power supply area. Also, this Paper estimates evaluation results of system interruption cost using a sample model system. Finally, evaluation results of system interruption cost based on failure rate of distribution facilities and composite customer interruption cost are shown in detail.

It is raised for methodology to evaluate power system reliability using interruption cost which is converted customer loss due to interruption into cost according to power industry is rushed into competition appearance. This paper presents algorithms to evaluate reliability of distribution power system taking into consideration customer interruption cost. Customer interruption cost is considered as one of the valuable index to estimate reliability of the distribution power system from customer situation. Also. this paper estimate evaluation results regarding the reliability of distribution power system using a sample model system. Finally, evaluation results of unserved energy and system interruption cost based on customer interruption cost are shown in detail.

KEPCO(Korea Electric Power Corporation) has been management alone before some time. However through the electrical industry reorganization generation and KPX(Korea Power Exchange) were separated on 2001. A marketing and distribution part will be separated in the future. While many problem for appear in future. how to management for power system network is important. unfortunallity, electrical power industry is starting point right now. Thus, detail data is incomplete for this field and detail research for this field is required with distribution reorganazation. In this paper suggest for customer interruption cost compute method to establish a standard. The standard is need to security operation of power system network. The customer interruption cost compute method necessity of customer interruption cost compute method is minimizing process for total cost. As final total cost compute through the interruption cost compute, we can recognize investment point exactly. We cited foreign survey questions, because exactly matched survey questions for in the country circumstance is not exist. And process to survey performance suggest after modify for match in the country circumstance. Survey questions that suggested fer this paper are classified five categories. This paper suggests to detail survey questions and survey method before survey and suggest to how to customer interruption compute when survey data is ensured. Moreover this paper suggest to average interruption cost compute for residential customer using statistical method.

As the power industry moves towards open competition, there has been a call for methodology to evaluate power system reliability by using customer interruption costs. This paper presents an evaluation of the interruption costs for public customers in Korea using customer survey methodology. When various research results are examined, the evaluation of direct interruption costs becomes much more simplified. Especially, in the case of public customers, it is known that the evaluation of direct interruption costs is more useful. Accordingly, this paper selected the customer survey method to evaluate the interruption costs for public customers in Korea considering interruption and customer characteristics.

This paper presents the result of the estimation of the power interruption costs of Korean commercial customers. Commercial customers are usually located in urban areas and considered very important because a power interruption on them can expand to additional damage to related users. Their power interruption costs were calculated through a survey with the process of data selection. Also, the power interruption cost for each customer's business type was calculated and compared with that of foreign cases.
