Resilience Assessment and Enhancement in Electric Distribution Networks

The paper describes the method and a tool for assessing and enhancing the resilience of distribution networks during extreme natural events, particularly wet snow storms.

Extreme weather events are becoming increasingly frequent and can lead to serious effects on electric distribution systems, in terms of damage to infrastructure and problems in delivering power to customers. Thus, grid operators require tools that can both predict unexpected events, based on weather forecasts, and propose countermeasures to strengthen system resilience. The paper describes the method and a tool for assessing and enhancing the resilience of distribution networks in case of extreme natural events and, in particular, wet snow storms. The tool works in two steps: a risk-based module to detect critical lines (more likely to fail due to wet snow accumulation), and an OPF module that ensures minimum anti-icing currents on previously identified critical lines. Simulations carried out on a real high voltage (HV) / medium voltage (MV) model in the Italian Alps demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
