Decentralized Bilateral Risk-based Self-healing Strategy for Power Distribution Network with Potentials from Central Energy Stations

Abstract

Owing to potential regulation capacities from flexible resources in energy coupling, storage, and consumption links, central energy stations (CESs) can provide additional support to power distribution network (PDN) in case of power disruption. However, existing research has not explicitly revealed the emergency response of PDN with leveraging multiple CESs. This paper proposes a decentralized self-healing strategy of PDN to minimize the entire load loss, in which multi-area CESs' potentials including thermal storage and building thermal inertia, as well as the flexible topology of PDN, are reasonably exploited for service recovery. For sake of privacy preservation, the co-optimization of PDN and CESs is realized in a decentralized manner using adaptive alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). Furtherly, bilateral risk management with conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) for PDN and risk constraints for CESs is integrated to deal with uncertainties from outage duration. Case studies are conducted on a modified IEEE 33-bus PDN with multiple CESs. Numerical results illustrate that the proposed strategy can fully utilize the potentials of multi-area CESs for coordinated load restoration. The effectiveness of the performance and behaviors' adaptation against random risks is also validated.

“…The experimental results showed that their method has some advantages and can provide a model reference for related types of research. Jain et al 7 proposed robust hybrid artificial fish swarm simulated annealing optimization algorithm to ensure network security. The robustness of wild networks against malicious hackers was improved without changing the temperature distribution.…”

Coordinated Dispatch Based on Distributed Robust Optimization for Interconnected Urban Integrated Energy and Transmission Systems

“…A steady-state equation is employed for the gas network. The UIES k gas network constraints consist of flow balance constraint (10), nodal pressure constraint (11), gas load limit constraint (12), compressor constraint (13), gas purchase volume constraint (14), and second-order cone programming-relaxed Weymouth equation (15), while this relaxation is not invariably tight but is chosen for its computational efficiency and manageability [30].…”

“…These methods typically require minimal interregional interaction variables. Notable examples include ATC algorithm [8], [9] and the alternating direction multiplier method (AD-MM) [10]- [12]. However, these algorithms and methods primarily involve information-flow interactions between two parties or levels, essentially addressing "2-block" problems or their combinations.…”
