Abstract

This study investigates the operational reliability of different types of switching substations within the context of power systems, employing the Monte Carlo method for analysis. The research focuses on evaluating the reliability of high-voltage substations, including single-busbar systems, double-busbar systems, and switchgears with a ring-type power supply. By conducting simulations and analyzing statistical data on device reliability, the study aims to identify the most reliable implementation of switching substations. The results are presented through graphical representations and comparative tables, highlighting the impact of factors such as the number of switching elements and their connection on operational reliability. The findings indicate that configurations with a greater number of busbars and a parallel connection of switching elements exhibit higher operational reliability. The study provides insights to inform decision-making in the construction of new switching substations, emphasizing the importance of stable operation within power systems.
