Abstract

The paper presents the methodology on survey of the customer power supply interruptions and the results of the conducted survey in order to assess the customer interruption costs (CIC) depending on the interruption duration. The survey was conducted in 2004 and 2005 on over 100 households mostly from the city of Osijek and other urban and rural areas in Eastern Croatia. In addition one large industrial user has been surveyed in order to compare the results of different types of power system customers (consumers). Customer damage functions (CDF) have been determined and the calculation of expected damages, i.e. overall expected customer outage costs (COC) is presented using a developed Visual Basic algorithm for customer supply reliability analysis.
