Abstract
Daily life activities require a continuous supply of electric power. The demand for continuous electric supply has become vital and necessary for all societies. To achieve the demand for the electric power required, there must be a well-developed power system to deliver sustainable, affordable prices, and more reliable electricity to customers. Therefore, previous studies have been studied in order to present methods used to interrupt customer interruption costs. Nonetheless, there are common challenges among all studies, such as the strategic responses with customer survey methods. Furthermore, previous research aims to use the data gathered from the customer surveys and integrate it with an indirect analytical method. The motivation behind this work is that when an outage occurs, companies suffer from significant losses, but if factors that can minimize the losses are well studied, then companies would know how to be prepared for blackouts with a minimum amount of losses. Consequently, a comparison between customer interruption costs calculations was conducted for the industry sector. The comparison conducted was based on a critical review analysis. Furthermore, after the critical review was made, all possible solutions researches has reached to were listed in order to seek opportunities for further developments. Moreover, the estimation of CICs for industrial sector in South Korea was found to be 1.3 times higher than the simple VoLL calculations. Also, all of the studied cases had suffered from the small size of data collected and the reliability of the responses. In Comparison of the cases studied, approaches to estimate CICs in paper [50] presented unique set of solutions that made it stand out. Besides estimating variables which have an effect on the CICs like [40] new SSCDF were introduced to meet each sector specific needs. The new functions CICpp, CICae, CICva, CICu, CICp and weighing factors Ku and Kp made it easier to reach reliable figures when estimating CICs.Description
