Optimal two-stage dispatch method of distribution network emergency resources under extreme weather disasters

In recent years, frequent extreme weather disasters have posed severe challenges to the safe and reliable power supply of distribution networks. In this paper, a resilience enhancement method is proposed for distribution networks, which establishes the full-phase analytical modeling of the distribution system defense and recovery process under extreme events, i.e., pre-event phase, degradation phase and restoration phase. Before a disaster strikes, multiple emergency resources are pre-allocated, including mobile emergency generators (MEGs) and repair crews and proactive islands are formed to improve the resistance of distribution networks to extreme weather disasters. After the disaster, real-time dispatching of MEGs and repair crews is coordinated with dynamic network reconfiguration, which considers the coupling processes among fault isolation, fault repair, and load restoration to improve the recovery ability of distribution networks. The IEEE 123-bus distribution system is used to verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method in enhancing the survivability of loads and the rapid recovery ability of distribution networks.
