  7. Abstract:
  8. Reward-penalty schemes are known as the most effective tools to regulate the service quality. This thesis tries to design a comprehensive reward-penalty scheme to properly motivate electricity distribution companies (DisCos) to improve the reliability and reduce the energy losses in their networks using Distributed Generation (DG) Resources. So, as the first step, the designing methods of reward-penalty scheme (RPS) and their advantage and disadvantages are introduced, and also a method based on concept of the Yaredestic theory is proposed. The proposed method uses the Fuzzy clustering and is able to set the parameters of RPS in a fair and efficient way. The proposed RPS is implemented on the Iranian electric power distribution sector, in order to illustrate merits of the proposed method. In the second step, a method is developed to encourage DisCos to efficiently employ the DG units in their networks. The main objective of the proposed method is to increase the presence of DG resources in distribution networks in such a way that improves the reliability and reduces network energy losses. Accordingly, in this method a company is benefited from the financial incentives, only if integrating the DGs improves the reliability and reduces the energy losses of its network. Also, a numerical example based on the Iranian electricity distribution companies is demonstrated owing to investigate the details of the proposed designing method. Finally, in order to illustrate the outcomes of the proposed RPS, a simulation on a typical distribution network is carried out
