Summary:This paper focuses on the application of certain smart grid technologies to a distribution system and the impact on reliability. Smart grid techniques were researched thoroughly in the form of a literature review. Some of the techniques that were considered to impact on reliability were selected to be modeled using Monte Carlo simulation performed in MATLAB. The RBTS bus 5 feeders 1 & 2 were chosen to have the techniques modeled on. The simulations were separated into cases with 2 base cases and 5 smart grid techniques application cases. Each technique was implemented separately with the last case being a combination of all techniques. The techniques were shown to improve the reliability indices although the amount of improvement varies between techniques.
