Abstract

Modern distribution systems have increasing integration of distributed energy resources (DERs). A large number of distribution system DERs are interfaced through a power electronic converter. During grid contingency scenarios these resources have been traditionally disconnected, without any fault ride-through capabilities. However, with new regulations and better technology, it is feasible for these resources to contribute to the grid's restoration after an adverse event and hence enhancing resilience. In distribution systems, system restoration is an important problem, especially in face of high-impact low-frequency events. This paper proposes a two-step restoration scheme for the power system restoration process by leveraging additional degrees of freedom in DERs for mitigating voltage problems. Simulation studies are performed on the IEEE-123 node feeder system to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for various cases.

AGGREGATE: dAta-driven modelinG preservinG contRollable dEr for outaGe mAnagemenT and rEsiliency (Final Report)

Technical Report Srivastava, Anurag; Liu, Chen-Ching; Dubey, Anamika; ...

The AGGREGATE project team successfully developed and validated various modules for outage management. Brief summaries of each module are provided to showcase their strength for outage management and restoration for a distribution system with a high penetration of connected distribution energy resources (DERs). In recent years, inverter-based DERs have been widely deployed in distribution system. A most of behind-the-meter (BTM) solar power generation is not visible to the utility. The data-driven DER and load estimation modules are using machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to manage this issue, which provides an opportunity for distribution system operators (DSOs) to operatemore »« less

Integrated Outage Management With Feeder Restoration for Distribution Systems With DERs

Journal Article Qi, Chensen; Liu, Chen-Ching - IEEE Access

The increasing deployment of distributed energy resources (DERs) and microgrids benefits power grids by improving system resilience. In a resilience mode without the utility system, the distribution grid relies on DERs to serve critical load. In such a severe event with multiple faults on the distribution feeders, actuation of various protective devices (PDs) divides the distribution system into electrical islands. The undetected actuated PDs due to fault current contributions from DERs can delay the restoration process, thereby reducing the system resilience. In this paper, algorithms are proposed for outage management and feeder restoration for distribution systems with multiple DERs. Themore »« less

Critical Load Restoration using Distributed Energy Resources for Resilient Power Distribution System

Journal Article Poudel, Shiva; Dubey, Anamika - IEEE Transactions on Power Systems

Extreme weather events have a significant impact on the aging and outdated power distribution infrastructures. These high-impact low-probability (HILP) events often result in extended outages and loss of critical services, thus, severely affecting customers' safety. This calls for the need to ensure resilience in distribution networks by quickly restoring the critical services during a disaster. This paper presents an advanced feeder restoration method to restore critical loads using distributed energy resources (DERs). A resilient restoration approach is proposed that jointly maximizes the amount of restored critical loads and optimizes the restoration times by optimally allocating grid's available DER resources.

Post-extreme-event restoration using linear topological constraints and DER scheduling to enhance distribution system resilience

Journal Article Shi, Qingxin; Li, Fangxing; Olama, Mohammed; ... - International Journal of Electrical Power and Energy Systems

In this paper, a post-extreme-event restoration (PEER) algorithm is proposed to improve distribution system resilience. Linear topological constraints are proposed to ensure radial topology after N-k contingencies, possibly in multiple islands. The approach is made comprehensive by considering dispatchable distributed energy resources (DERs), non-dispatchable DERs, and demand responses, as well as on-load tap changers (OLTCs) and shunt capacitors. The goal is to minimize the accumulative expense caused by load reduction payment or penalty, as well as DER operation cost. As a result, the overall system will survive longer with higher resilience during an extreme event. To verify the effectiveness ofmore »« less
