The Reward-Penalty Scheme (RPS), a financial strategy developed by the regulator to avoid service reliability deterioration, is often used to guarantee the reliability level. This paper provides the new methodology for RPS design based on the spatial distribution of reliability performances. The analytical form of the spatial performance distribution is obtained using a method of moments. Using this distribution, the Dead Band Zone and reward and penalty points for each utility are obtained. This analysis offers a more transparent set of reward and penalty thresholds. The proposed methodology is tested on actual data from a Serbian distribution utility.

基于空间可靠性统计的配电奖罚方案设计

奖励罚金计划（RPS）是监管机构为避免服务可靠性下降而制定的一项财务策略，通常用于保证可靠性水平。本文基于可靠性性能的空间分布，为RPS设计提供了新的方法。使用矩量法获得空间性能分布的解析形式。使用此分布，可以获得每个公用事业的死区和奖励和罚分。该分析提供了更透明的奖励和惩罚阈值集。所建议的方法已根据来自塞尔维亚发行实用程序的实际数据进行了测试。
