Abstract

Given the network expansion and the high penetration of renewable energy sources, an effective restoration plan is required to significantly reduce the level of unserved loads. In the context of automating the distribution network, fault region isolation and service restoration (FRISR) play a crucial role in the case of fault occurrence, as it can help to determine the optimal switching of remote-controlled and manual switches. This study highlights an effective semi-automated FRISR plan for the distribution network being integrated with the hydrogen facility, high PV penetration, and distributed generation units. This approach is a double-stage plan that uses remote-controlled switches (RCSW), tie switches (TSW), and conventional manual switches (CMSW) to achieve the radiality of the network and rapidly restore the demand-supply. Under the faulty situation, using the hydrogen system can dramatically enhance the operational flexibility of the proposed FRISR model. Further, the model involves inherent uncertainties associated with network power demand and PV radiation. Thus, applying the p-robust optimization method smooth reliable decision-making process. After fault occurrence, results indicated that TSW preserved the radiality of the network in island operation along with RCSW and CMSW, upon which a high level of demands-supply is achieved with fewer loads facing blackouts.
