The valuation of whether network operators meet users' expectations in ensuring a continuous supply to their premises is important determining willingness-to-pay (WTP) for electricity. Distributed resources such as photovoltaic (PV) systems will dominate future networks, and thus customers' WTP vary dynamically, both spatially temporally. Whereas system-wide indices are typically used assess performance, there requirement complement these with customer-based accurately quantify the risk...
