Conditional value at risk-based island partitioning and fault restoration reconfiguration of active distribution networks
Abstract
With the increasing penetration of distributed energy in the distribution network, it is urgent to study how to ensure the stable and reliable operation of the power grid under fault conditions. To solve this problem, this study proposes a method for partitioning distribution network islands and reconstructing faults considering the Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR). This method aims to enhance the resilience of the distribution network and the recovery capability of critical loads. Initially, a partitioning model for distribution network islands based on depth-first and breadth-first search algorithms was constructed. Building upon this partitioning, a fault reconstruction method for distribution networks that considers CVaR was developed. This method utilizes CVaR theory to transform costs and quantifies the risk that the uncertainty of distributed energy resources poses to distribution network reconstruction strategies. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using an improved IEEE 33-node system, generating typical fault scenarios.
