COST ASSESSMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY INTERRUPTION -A CASE STUDY FOR INDUSTRIAL LOADS

Abstract

In the proposed project the costs associated with an electrical energy supply interruption for industrial loads are estimated using interruption data obtained from different industries surveyed. The ex-pected energy not supplied for generation outage is also evaluated using frequency and duration technique. A fuzzy load model has been used for the interruption cost calculation to eliminate the error involved in the forcasted loads. The results obtained from - the proposed model is quite encouraging and may . help the industries to operate efficiently and it may also help the utility engineers for future planning •and decision making.
