Variance reduction technique in reliability evaluation for distribution system by using sequential Monte Carlo simulation

This paper discusses the need for variance reduction in simulations order to reduce time required compute a simulation. The large and complex network is commonly evaluated using large-scale Monte Carlo Unfortunately, due different sizes of network, it takes some complete However, techniques (VRT) can help solve issues. effect VRT changes behaviors simulation, particularly run To evaluate reliability indices, two sequential (SMC) methods are used. SMC with without options. presence simulation distinguishes simulations. Finally, indices: system average interruption frequency index (SAIFI), duration (SAIDI), customer (CAIDI) will be calculated at end determine efficiency VRT. Overall, more efficient because convenient saves than
