This paper presents developed methodology for economical assessment of middle voltage overhead and underground cable line network related costs and results of case study made on real distribution network. Detailed calculations of construction, maintenance and fault elimination costs have been
done. The results obtained from the calculations give well grounded base for distribution network exploiting engineers when trying to find network`s optimal reliability level by replacing overhead lines by underground cable lines as one of reliability centered maintenance activity.
Keywords
costs; power distribution faults; power system economics; power distribution lines; power system reliability.
