Abstract

Large-scale blackouts and extreme weather events in recent decades raise the concern for improving the resilience of electric power infrastructures. Distribution service restoration (DSR), a fundamental application in outage management systems, allows restoration solutions for system operators when power outages happen. As distribution generators (DGs) and remotely controllable devices are increasingly installed in distribution systems, an advanced DSR framework is critical to perform optimally coordinated restoration that can achieve maximal restoration performance. This work introduces a DSR modeling framework, which can generate optimal switching sequences and estimated time of restoration in the presence of remotely controllable switches, manually operated switches, and dispatchable DGs. Two mathematical models, a variable time step model and a fixed time step model, are presented and compared. The proposed models are formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming model, and their effectiveness is evaluated via the IEEE 123 node test feeder.

Toward a Synthetic Model for Distribution System Restoration and Crew Dispatch

Journal Article Chen, Bo ; Ye, Zhigang ; Chen, Chen ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Power Systems

Distribution service restoration (DSR) is critical for improving the resilience and reliability of modern distribution systems by strategically and sequentially energizing the system components and customer loads. Restoring electricity service to affected customers also requires multiple crews with different skill sets to perform multiple tasks that are procedurally interdependent with safety guaranteed. However, in existing DSR practices, switch operations and crew dispatch are scheduled separately, and their interdependence is not fully considered. As advanced technologies are enabling remote communication, control, and dispatch, utilities now desire an integrated DSR framework to achieve seamless coordination among multiple DSR tasks such as switchmore »« less

Multi-Time Step Service Restoration for Advanced Distribution Systems and Microgrids

Journal Article Chen, Bo ; Chen, Chen ; Wang, Jianhui ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid

Modern power systems are facing increased risk of disasters that can cause extended outages. The presence of remote control switches (RCSs), distributed generators (DGs), and energy storage systems (ESS) provides both challenges and opportunities for developing post-fault service restoration methodologies. Inter-temporal constraints of DGs, ESS, and loads under cold load pickup (CLPU) conditions impose extra complexity on problem formulation and solution. In this paper, a multi-time step service restoration methodology is proposed to optimally generate a sequence of control actions for controllable switches, ESSs, and dispatchable DGs to assist the system operator with decision making. The restoration sequence is determinedmore »« less

Utilising demand response for distribution service restoration to achieve grid resiliency against natural disasters

Journal Article Hafiz, Faeza ; Chen, Bo ; Chen, Chen ; ... - IET Generation, Transmission, & Distribution

The increased frequency of power outages due to natural disasters in recent years has highlighted the urgency of enhancing distribution grid resilience. The effective distribution service restoration (DSR) is an important measure for a resilient distribution grid. In this work, the authors demonstrate that DSR can be significantly improved by leveraging the flexibility provided by the inclusion of demand response (DR). The authors propose a framework for this by considering integrated control of household-level flexible appliances to vary the load demand at the distribution-grid level to improve DSR. The overall framework of the proposed system is modelled as a three-stepmore »« less

Chance-constrained Service Restoration for Distribution Networks with Renewables

Conference nejad, Reza Roofegari ; Sun, Wei - 2018 IEEE International Conference on Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems (PMAPS)

Power systems operation is facing great challenges from natural disasters and cyber-attacks. It is critical but also difficult to enhance the reliability and resilience against extreme events. To better response to inevitable outages or blackouts, service restoration in distribution networks is important to minimize the disastrous impacts of catastrophic events. The increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) provides new opportunities to expedite the restoration process. However, the coordination with conventional distribution system control devices and the uncertainty and variability of intermittent renewable energy resources requires new operation and control strategies for distribution service restoration (DSR).

Sequential Service Restoration for Unbalanced Distribution Systems and Microgrids

Journal Article Chen, Bo ; Chen, Chen ; Wang, Jianhui ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Power Systems

The resilience and reliability of modern power systems are threatened by increasingly severe weather events and cyber-physical security events. An effective restoration methodology is desired to optimally integrate emerging smart grid technologies and pave the way for developing self-healing smart grids. In this paper, a sequential service restoration (SSR) framework is proposed to generate restoration solutions for distribution systems and microgrids in the event of large-scale power outages. The restoration solution contains a sequence of control actions that properly coordinate switches, distributed generators, and switchable loads to form multiple isolated microgrids. The SSR can be applied for three-phase unbalanced distributionmore »« less
