Abstract:

Utilizing various forms of mobile emergency power sources to flexibly dispatch electrical energy is an important technical approach to rapidly restore the important loads of power grids and enhance the resilience of urban distribution networks under rainstorm disasters. Therefore, a collaborative optimization strategy for rapid recovery of distribution networks after rainstorm disasters based on mobile emergency power sources is proposed. Firstly, a spatio-temporally coupled mobile behavior model for mobile emergency power sources is developed, and linear constraints characterizing the movement of mobile emergency power sources in post-disaster power grids are constructed. Then, relevant constraints characterizing the output operation of mobile emergency power sources are constructed to address the two main categories—mobile energy storage and mobile generators—while accounting for the charging and discharging behaviors of mobile energy storage systems. Meanwhile, by integrating with constraints characterizing power grid operations, an objective function is constructed based on the principle of maximizing restored load energy while considering dispatch costs, and a mixed-integer second-order cone optimization model for post-disaster grid load restoration is established, which incorporates the collaborative optimization of mobile emergency power sources. Finally, by setting up different case scenarios, this study analyzes the dispatch of mobile emergency power sources and the load recovery results after rainstorm disasters, verifying the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed model.
