There is an increasing interest in economic optimization approaches for power system planning and expansion. Evaluation of the cost associated with different system configurations and the corresponding reliability worth at the customer end is generally termed as reliability cost/worth assessment. The actual or perceived costs of customer interruptions can be used to determine the worth of electric service reliability. This paper presents a method for evaluating an Interrupted Energy Assessment Rate (IEAR) at each system customer load point considering the influence of outages in all parts of the electric power system. The developed IEAR can be used with the available adequacy indices in order to assess the severity associated with unsupplied energy due to supply interruptions. The IEAR can be used as a customer related index in making decisions regarding load curtailment philosophies and reliability related rate setting. The concepts of utilizing a customer damage function in association with customer reliability indices are presented and illustrated using a reliability test system.
