AB  - This paper presents a reliability assessment algorithm for distribution systems 
      using a Static Series Voltage Regulator (SSVR). Furthermore, this algorithm 
      considers the effects of Distributed Generation (DG) units, alternative sources, 
      system reconfiguration, load shedding and load adding on distribution system 
      reliability indices. In this algorithm, load points are classified into 8 types 
      and separated restoration times are considered for each class. Comparative 
      studies are conducted to investigate the impacts of DG and alternative source 
      unavailability on the distribution system reliability. For reliability 
      assessment, the customer-oriented reliability indices such as SAIFI, SAIDI, CAIDI 
      ASUI and also load- and energy-oriented indices such as ENS and AENS are 
      evaluated. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is examined on the two 
      standard distribution systems consisting of 33 and 69 nodes. The best location of 
      the SSVR in distribution systems is determined based on different reliability 
      indices, separately. Results show that the proposed algorithm is efficient for 
      large-scale radial distribution systems and can accommodate the effects of fault 
      isolation and load restoration.
