Electric Power Distribution Reliability, Second Edition

TL;DR: An optimal hardening strategy to enhance the resilience of power distribution networks to protect against extreme weather events and is transformed to be an equivalent bi-level problem, which is subsequently solved by a greedy searching algorithm.

TL;DR: In this paper, a sequential service restoration (SSR) framework is proposed to generate restoration solutions for distribution systems and micro-grids in the event of large-scale power outages.

TL;DR: The benefits of being able to quantify resiliency can help distribution system planning engineers and operators to justify control actions, compare different reconfiguration algorithms, and develop proactive control actions to avert power system outage due to impending catastrophic weather situations or other adverse events.

TL;DR: A modified and computationally efficient progressive hedging algorithm with scenario bundling is introduced for resilience-oriented design to protect distribution grids against high-impact but low-probability extreme weather events.
