The article is devoted to choosing ways to improve the technological reliability of regional electric network (REN) to ensure reliable power supply. At the operational stage, the task of increasing operational reliability is assigned to the enterprise asset management system of the territorial network organization (TNO), as a REN operator. Technological reliability is ensured by an operational dispatch control system, which uses the existing reserves in the network to support the technological process of electricity supply to electricity consumers in case of network equipment failures. The relevance of improving the technological and operational reliability of power supply system (PSS) requires the development and improvement of methods for analyzing and assessing the TNO's readiness to provide power transmission services. The indicators adopted in Russia reflect the level of technological reliability of PSS. However, these indicators do not reflect the technical condition of the equipment, or identify causal relationship between an equipment failure and an interruption of power supply. The research is aimed at identifying “bottlenecks” from the technological reliability standpoint and substantiating maintenance and repair, and technical re-equipment and reconstruction measures to improve operational reliability. A PSS model is proposed reflecting the technical condition of the network equipment, the operational readiness of automation systems, the availability of structural, functional and load redundancy in the REN. A method is suggested for calculating the PSS reliability indicators, where the developed indices reflect the degree of development of the network technical potential and the role of the aforesaid nodes in the PSS. The method makes it possible to identify the network parts, where it is necessary to introduce new technologies. In contrast to a well-known method, which is based on expert estimates of probabilities of different circuit-mode states of the network and on the calculation of normal and post-emergency modes, a less timeconsuming formalized procedure for analyzing and evaluating the network structural and functional reliability is proposed. The results obtained allow to increase the validity of the decisions made both at the operational stage and the design stage.
