Figure 18 (above) shows the System Average Interruption Duration Indices for
the past five years. It shows that the 2011 SAIDI is 211.32 minutes, an 85 percent
increase compared to the 2010 SAIDI result of 114.55 minutes. This increase is mainly
due to the storm of March 4, 2011. Excluding this storm would reduce the 2011 SAIDI
by 100 minutes, bringing the 2011 result to be lower than the 2010 SAIDI results. The
SAIDI is the composite of both the SAIFI and CAIDI indices and produces a broader
benchmark of system reliability by combining both the duration and the number of
customer interruptions during a given period of time. The increase of the SAIDI result
was due to the increase in both the CAIDI and SAIFI statistics.
