Higher variability in grid conditions, resulting from growing renewable penetration and increased incidence of extreme weather events, has increased the difficulty of screening for scenarios that may lead to catastrophic cascading failures.

To address this gap, we propose the Security-Constrained Optimal Power Shutoff (SC-OPS) problem which uses post-contingency security constraints to model the impact of unexpected line faults when planning a PSPS.

Specifically, our model co-optimizes the power shutoff (considering both wildfire risk reduction and power outages) as well as the post-event restoration efforts given constraints related to inspection and energization of lines, and is implemented as a rolling horizon optimization problem that is resolved whenever new forecasts of load and wildfire risk become available.

With increasing levels of distributed energy resources (DERs) connected to the grid, it is important to understand the role that DERs can play in post-disaster restoration.
