Abstract
To enhance system resilience and accelerate outage load restoration, local feeder automation is widely deployed in distribution networks with locally automated devices. By presetting action logics, these automated devices can quickly isolate faults and restore outage loads. In order to meet resilience requirements, the non-automated distribution network should be upgraded to a partially-automated one due to limited budget. Conventionally, such resilience reinforcement plan is designed based on engineers’ experience. In this paper, we propose an optimization model for optimally upgrading manually operated switchable equipment to automatically operated one by local feeder automation in distribution networks, in which the predefined resilience indices for networks are explicitly expressed as constraints. The control logics and coordinated operations of feeder automation equipment are analytically formulated. Finally, the proposed model is formulated as the mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) and can be effectively solved. Case studies on an 8-section illustrative system and a 54-node system show the effectiveness of the presented models.
