Abstract

This research looks into a systemic impact factor (SIF) as a complement to enhance the prescriptive capabilities of electric substations with the objective of improving the reliability and robustness of components. As electrical networks become increasingly complex, prescriptive analytical tools are needed to ensure sustained power delivery. The purpose is to develop a framework for evaluating failure effects, including both direct and indirect effects on substation performance. The study makes use of a multi-criteria method that incorporates safety, environment protection, reliability, and network robustness among other factors like SAIDI and SAIFI to determine the actual impact of failures to make better decisions. The methodology is illustrated using a criticality model, and a case study, focusing on operational contexts of the failure. The SIF proposal provides a better understanding of different aspects and their contribution, when a failure event occurs under a given operational context. This factor improves maintenance management by identifying critical equipment and projecting the effects of failure through a specific operation network. A case study in an electrical substation estimates the SIF for each element used in daily operations to improve support services and increase substation dependability. Therefore, SIF is an essential factor to consider in electrical substations for their maintainability and reliability evaluation.
