Multi-Objective Power Supply Restoration in Distribution Networks Based on Graph Calculation and Information Collected by Multi-Source Sensors

With the increasing complexity of the distribution network structure, enhancing the efficiency and reliability during fault restoration has become a focal point. Based on the multi-source information collected by traditional sensors, such as CT and PT, and intelligent sensors, such as D-PMU, and the graph calculation model, the fault recovery problem of a multi-objective distribution network is studied. Firstly, a power flow calculation model and operation constraint adaptable to topology changes are proposed under the graph calculation framework. The minimum spanning tree theory is utilized to define the blackout range and recovery path set. Secondly, the intelligent sensor D-PMU is configured to collect fault information to ensure that at least one of any two connected load vertices is configured with D-PMU. Thirdly, a topological evolution model is established that considers repeated primary and secondary transfer in outage areas while exploring possible recovery strategies deeply. Finally, a distribution network in Shaanxi Province is taken as an example to verify the model. The experiment shows that the strategy in this paper dynamically adjusts the recovery strategy through four means-one transfer, one repeat transfer in the outage area, two transfers, and cutting off part of the outage load-and the overall recovery rate is increased by more than 20%.
