 A METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION RECONFIGURATION
WITH MICROGRID CONSIDERING DYNAMIC
BEHAVIOR OF THERMAL LOAD
Problem: To obtain a more realistic scheme on the reconfiguration, the impact of
microgrid and dynamic behaviors of thermal loads on the distribution systems
reconfiguration are concerned.
Method: The methods used were depth-first search and breadth first search. To validate
the study of the dynamic behaviors of thermal loads is employed in IEEE 33-bus.
Results: The consideration of dynamic behaviors of thermal loads makes loads without
inertia related to the energy supply restored first. It reduces the actual loads that micro
grids should supply when a fault occurs and can make full use of capacity of micro grids to
support distribution. Therefore, the reconfiguration model considering the difference
types of loads and the dynamic behaviors makes the result more realistic.

NETWORK RECONFIGURATION AND DISTRIBUTED
ENERGY RESOURCE SCHEDULING FOR
IMPROVED DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM RESILIENCE
Problem: An outage management strategy is proposed to enhance distribution system resilience
through network reconfiguration and distributed energy resources (DERs) scheduling.
Method: The proposed algorithm can identify radial network topology based on the rank of the
incidence matrix. The reconfiguration is implemented by switching tie lines and sectionalizing lines. With
the new network topology, an optimal DER scheduling problem is solved to minimize the accumulative
cost for dispatchable DER operation and load reduction. Finally, the optimal topology that minimizes the
accumulative cost is selected from all radial topologies.
Results: The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed strategy allows for a relatively high
percentage of the load to remain in service after line faults. Furthermore, compared with microgrid-
formation approaches, the proposed strategy has advantages when applied to the distribution systems
with several normally-open tie lines and low DER penetration.

DG locations and optimal configuration that enhance system reliability. Genetic algorithm is
applied to search for the optimal or near-optimal solution.
Results: The proposed method is demonstrated on a 33-bus radial distribution system, which is
extensively used as an example in solving the distribution system reconfiguration problem.
