Abstract
A resilient power system is capable of providing fast and efficient recovery from outages caused by natural or man-made attacks. After a major blackout, transmission, and distribution system operators (TSOs and DSOs) coordinate to restore the system in a timely and reliable manner. However, these two systems are usually operated separately without considering capabilities and limitations of each individual network, or their mutual impacts. This could prolong the restoration process and lead to unpractical outcomes. Therefore, a distributed strategy for integrated transmission and distribution systems restoration (ITDSR) has been developed in this paper. Based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM), the distributed algorithm is able to provide the coordinated restoration for both TSOs and DSOs by sharing limited information of boundary buses in an iterative procedure. The ADMM-ITDSR model includes convex ac power flow model and three-phase unbalanced branch flow model. The ITDSR strategy coordinates the operation of distributed energy resources in terms of serving high priority loads across different networks. The effectiveness and advantage of developed models and algorithms are validated and demonstrated through testing of the integrated IEEE test cases, such as 14-bus transmission with 13-node distribution systems, and 39-bus transmission with 123-node distribution systems.
