Speech Title:Distribution System Planning and Design for Resilience Enhancement

Abstract

In this speech, optimal planning and design problems are discussed for a distribution system to reinforce its resilience against low-probability and high-impact events. Both line hardening and remote-controlled switches are employed for resilience enhancement. The hardening of tie lines and the deployment of bilateral tie switches are particularly emphasized as important parts of the resilience-enhancement oriented planning and design. A progressive detection mechanism is devised to estimate the potential propagation of outages and identify surviving nodes outside of the minimum outage area after intentional islanding. The resilience-enhanced distribution system planning/design problem is formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model, and the nested column-and-constraint generation algorithm is customized to solve the MILP model. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed planning and design method for distribution system resilience enhancement.
