Title: Identifying critical resiliency of modern distribution systems with open source modeling

Conference ·

Identification of temporal and topology related challenges to the operation of modern distribution systems (MDS) with high penetration of distributed energy resources is critical to developing and assessing control strategies. This paper proposes analysis of typical and historical load and generation patterns to identify and anticipate critical intersections in generation and load that stress distribution system stability. An open source modeling of representative MDS topologies, loads, and generation is presented to aid further analysis of the interaction of MDS control strategies with load and generation patterns to determine intrinsic adaptive capacity of segments of MDS.
