Abstract

Resilience evaluation plays a critical role in the decarbonized development of modern power distribution systems since it objectively assesses how the distribution system performs in the face of stochastic renewable generation, increasing load demand, and promising to cut carbon emissions. This study proposed a comprehensive resilience evaluation method for regional distribution systems. The proposed resilience evaluation system comprises three sub-groups: performance, economy, and connections. To improve the objectivity of the proposed evaluation method, the weighting factors are calculated based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and weighted Page-ranking algorithm, respectively. Specifically, AHP is adopted to calculate the weighting factors for different metrics. At the same time, the original Page-ranking algorithm is improved according to the importance of the buses and then used to calculate the weighting factors for different buses within the same metric. The proposed method is applied to a real-world distribution network in China. Numerical results show that the proposed method can objectively evaluate the overall resilience level of the distribution network, including the source side, the network, and the load side. The evaluation results can help the decision-makers to make resilience enhancement in an economical and targeted way.
