A Novel Defender-Attacker-Defender Model for Resilient Distributed Generator Planning with Network Reconfiguration and Demand Response

To improve the resilience of a distribution system against extreme weather,a fuel-based distributed generator(DG)allocation model is proposed in this study.In this model,the DGs are placed at the planning stage.When an extreme event occurs,the controllable generators form temporary microgrids(MGs)to restore the load maximally.Simultaneously,a demand response program(DRP)mitigates the imbalance between the power supply and demand during extreme events.To cope with the fault uncertainty,a robust optimization(RO)method is applied to reduce the long-term investment and short-term operation costs.The optimization is formulated as a tri-level defenderattacker-defender(DAD)framework.At the first level,decision-makers work out the DG allocation scheme;at the second level,the attacker finds the optimal attack strategy with maximum damage;and at the third level,restoration measures,namely distribution network reconfiguration(DNR)and demand response are performed.The problem is solved by the nested column and constraint generation(NC&CG)method and the model is validated using an IEEE 33-node system.Case studies validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed model according to the enhanced resilience and reduced cost.

Multi-stage Defender-Attacker-Defender Model for Distribution System Resilience Enhancement in Ice Storms with Line Hardening,Mobile Device and Repair Crew Dispatching

This paper proposes a co-optimal strategy using line hardening,mobile devices(mobile ice-melting device,mobile emergency generator,mobile energy storage system),and repair crew dispatching to improve distribution system resilience during ice storms.A multi-stage defender-attacker-defender model is established to take into account interactions and coupling relationships between different measures.In our proposed model,ice storms will attack the distribution and transportation system in a worst-case scenario,affecting system performance from various perspectives.Corresponding to the different operating states in the distribution system affected by ice storms,aiming at minimizing the weighted load shedding value,this paper applies various measures to different stages to improve the response and defense capabilities to ice storms and realize restoration of the distribution system ultimately.The nested column-and-constraint generation algorithm is used to solve the model efficiently.The effectiveness of the proposed model and solution method for enhancing the distribution system resilience is verified on the modified IEEE 33-bus distribution system and modified realworld zone of Caracas 141-bus distribution system.
