ABSTRACT

Indices characterising unreliability of medium and low voltage power grids in rural areas of southern Poland, used by distribution companies in the analysis of electricity recipients' energy security, were investigated. In particular they were compared with analogous values describing national networks, including networks in cities, and their changes in the years 2002–2011 were analysed. It was found that the condition of electric power security of rural consumers from southern Poland does not differ significantly from the average national value and it has improved some over the past ten years.

Key words: electric power networks, power supply reliability, failure rates.
