The purpose of this thesis was to analyse radial networks in rural areas for the deployment of mobile generators that maintain electricity supply in the event of a forced outage. Maintaining the electricity supply in such a situation would minimise forced outage compensation costs a network operator has to pay after 12 hours of forced outage. The deployment of mobile generators will offer an important option in guaranteeing that both forced and planned outages in underground cable networks do not take longer than 24 hours.Through analyses of two case studies of radial networks, I have developed reference charts so that mobile generators can be quickly deployed and power supply returned within 12 hours. The mobile generators are to be connected to substations to feed other substations in the radial network through medium voltage cables.Only voltage drop and loadability have been considered in this study. The methodology I used for creating the reference charts can be applied to other radial networks and extended to include other limitations in the application of mobile generators.
