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.

The prioritization of restoration actions after large power system outages plays a key role in how quickly power can be restored.

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.

With the escalating frequency of extreme grid disturbances, such as natural disasters, comes an increasing need for efficient recovery plans.

Electric grid faults can be the source of catas-trophic wildfires, particularly in regions with high winds andlow humidity.
