The distribution system is prone to failures and disturbances due to component failures. Distributed generation (DG) acts as a backup sources to ensure the reliability of electric power supplies. In this paper, proposed an analytical method which is a conditional probability approach. This method used to find the reliability indices of RBTS Bus-2 with multiple DGs. The value of DG locating as a backup generator is quantified in terms of its contribution to the reliability improvement in a distribution network. The reliability improvement is observed based on reliability indices that include SAIFI, SAIDI, CAIDI and ENS. In addition, the value of DG installed at various locations on the feeder from the substation, as well as the impacts of installing, aggregated DGs and multiple DGs are presented. Therefore, distributed generation is expected to play a key role in the industrial, commercial and residential, sectors of the distribution system.
