System unavailability comparison of different countries EU

A reduction of system unavailability Q, as one example for system reliability indices, by the installation of micro-sources that enable (partial) island operation is demonstrated in Figure for selected European countries, compared to the case without DG.

The countries which have worse system reliability achieve higher improvements than the countries with high system reliabilities also in case without DG. For instance, in Portugal rural network the system unavailability decreases from more than 10 h/a to the value of below 1 h/a with maximum and average cost model; even with average cost model yearly unavailability is also reduced to approximate 4h/a. However, the improvement for German urban network and Holland network, which have already good system reliability without micro-sources, is not obvious, although system reliability is also improved to a certain extent in both networks. With higher interruption cost model, system reliability can be better improved. Higher interruption costs justify higher micro-source investment, thus achieving higher system reliability improvements.  Microgrid operation from reliability point of view is thus most beneficial in countries with lower power quality or in regions or for customer segments with comparably high outage costs.
