Comprehensive Risk-Based Methodology and Tool for the Quantitative Resilience Assessment of Distribution and Transmission Systems

The paper presents a general methodology and tool, based on the concept of risk, to assess the resilience of transmission and distribution (T&D) networks as a whole. Simulations demonstrate the tool’s ability to identify critical components in the presence of threats and to quantify the resilience benefits brought by strengthening measures (e.g., reconductoring) or active measures (e.g., reconfiguration of MV counter-feeds).

Extreme weather events can damage the infrastructure of a transmission and distribution (T&D) network, resulting in disruptions. Addressing this problem requires a thorough analysis of the vulnerabilities of T&D network components to natural threats and the implementation of appropriate measures to prevent even multiple and dependent contingencies. To this end, the authors developed a general methodology and tool, based on the concept of risk, to assess the resilience of T&D networks as a whole. The simulations—performed on the model of a portion of the Italian T&D network including two MV (medium voltage) feeders and a part of the transmission system in the Aosta Valley area—demonstrate the tool’s ability to identify critical components in the presence of threats and in quantifying the resilience benefits of strengthening measures (e.g., reconductoring) or active measures (e.g., reconfiguration of MV counter-feeders).
