An Iterative Heuristic Method to Determine Radial Topology for Distribution System Restoration

11 Dec 2019  ·  Jiayu Liu, Qiqi Zhang, Jiaxu Li, Ying Wang ·

Coordinating multiple local power sources can restore critical loads after the major outages caused by extreme events. A radial topology is needed for distribution system restoration, while determining a good topology in real-time for online use is a challenge. In this paper, a graph theory-based heuristic considering power flow state is proposed to fast determine the radial topology. The loops of distribution network are eliminated by iteration. The proposed method is validated by one snapshot and multi-period critical load restoration models on different cases. The case studies indicate that the proposed method can determine radial topology in a few seconds and ensure the restoration capacity.
