Hence, they require multiple objective functions to optimise a set of objectives, including economic, environmental, social and technical considerations while addressing the diverse interests of community members and stakeholders. Due to the complexity of LECs and the unpredictability of DERs, real-time operations in LECs often deviate significantly from day-ahead scheduling. To tackle these challenges, this paper presents a stochastic multi-objective optimization framework designed to improve day-ahead scheduling by accounting for forecasting errors in DERs. The proposed method employs advanced scenario generation techniques, including multivariate copulas and quantile forecasting, to capture uncertainties in load demand and renewable production without relying on prior distribution assumptions.

DCs, serving as flexible and adjustable resources on the load side of power systems, are essential to the operation of modern energy systems. In this context, this paper proposes a coordinated and secure scheduling strategy for DCs and power system, utilising spatial-temporal flexibility. First, the architecture and operational characteristics of DCs are analysed, followed by the development of an power consumption model to quantify their spatial-temporal flexibility. Then, a bi-level optimisation model is developed to coordinate computational power and electricity, considering DCs' dual roles as independent operators and flexible resources that influence locational electricity prices. Finally, simulation analyses are performed on the modified IEEE 39-node system. The results demonstrate that the proposed strategy effectively utilises the spatial-temporal flexibility of DCs, alleviating system congestion. In terms of economic benefits, it enhances the cost efficiency of the DCs by 70% and reduces the system's operating costs by 46%.

The proposed scheme adopts a phenomenological approach that uses a physical model to iteratively solve the inverse problem. The problem is posed as an optimisation problem that determines the most likely location of a fault by minimising an appropriate objective function; it denotes the disparity between the entropy of the current waveforms observed by the protection relays at the time of fault detection and their model-predicted counterparts. A hybrid optimisation technique based on the conjugate gradient method is adopted in the inversion process that secures a robust and fast convergence of the proposed method. The primary advantage of this scheme is its accuracy in noisy environments with no limitation on the type of fault and value of fault impedance. To examine the performance of the proposed scheme, a mesh-type DC microgrid is simulated and the results are compared with one of the state of-the-art methods.

This is especially crucial in preventing cascading failures among interdependent critical infrastructures, such as medical, water, and telecommunication systems. Proactively preparing to cope with disruptive events causing a high risk of power outage is essential for improving the resilience of EDSs. A performance index, human well-being loss (HWL), is proposed to assess the disruption to people's quality of life during extreme weather events, considering the interdependence among critical infrastructures. Based on the proposed index, a novel resilience enhancement framework is proposed, which takes into account expected generation costs, economic losses due to power curtailment and HWL. Subsequently, a two-stage stochastic model for preventive disaster is presented, which optimises power rationing strategies and dispatch schedules.

Once the virtual impedances are tuned at a given load, the scheme ensures good power sharing performance even if the communication is interrupted. Moreover, a detailed state-space model is developed, and the system stability analysis is conducted. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is validated.
