ABSTRACT
This study aims to address the following research query In the event of an imminent disaster poised to impact distribution grids, what constitutes the optimal course of action for the distribution system operators to keep the lights on? To address this challenge, we propose a cost-efficient cellular model for enhancing the resilience of smart distribution grids. This model prioritizes resilience in the face of natural disasters or other disruptions that could impact service delivery. This method benefits both grid operators and consumers by ensuring reliable power supply while minimizing energy costs. Furthermore, the model's scalability allows it to be applied to distribution systems of varying sizes. The proposed method utilizes an innovative approach to form optimal cellular network configurations within the grid. As the first step in the formation of cellular topology for the grid, the eigenvectors of the Laplacian matrix of the grid will be used to decide on the optimal configurations. Subsequently, a bi-level mixed-integer linear programming model is proposed to decrease the network costs while simultaneously consider potential power transfer scenarios between the cells and the upstream network during both normal and emergency conditions. The researchers validated the effectiveness of the proposed method through simulations on an IEEE 33-bus test system. The results demonstrate outstanding performance, with a significant increase in the resilience index (96 %) and a substantial reduction in load-shedding costs (80 %), making the network considerably more robust.
