What is the duration between an interruption and the restoration of service called?

The duration between an interruption and the restoration of service is referred to as Interruption Duration. This term specifically encapsulates the entire time span from when the service is disrupted to the point it is restored. Understanding Interruption Duration is critical for evaluating the efficiency of power system operations and identifying areas for improvement in service reliability.

Service Recovery Time, Restoration Duration, and Downtime Duration might refer to similar concepts but lack the precise definition that Interruption Duration provides. Each of these terms could be interpreted differently in various contexts and might not specifically capture the essence of the duration from disruption to restoration in power systems. Therefore, using the term Interruption Duration helps maintain clarity and consistency when discussing outages and service restoration in the context of power substations.
