Distributed generators offer the possibility for fast power grid restoration after disastrous
events by forming local microgrids. Merging such microgrids increases the supply capacity …

Increasing emphasis on reliability and resiliency call for advanced distribution system
restoration (DSR). The integration of grid sensors, remote controls, and distributed …

With increasing levels of distributed energy resources (DERs) connected to the grid, it is
important to understand the role that DERs can play in post-disaster restoration. In this …

This papers highlights the benefit of coordinating resources on mulitple active distribution
feeders during severe long duration outages through multi-microgrid formation. A graph …

In this paper, we propose a restorative method to minimize the unserved demand in a power
distribution network where some islands are formed due to multiple line outages. The …

The existing microgrid-based distribution system restoration methods follow traditional
restoration criteria, which achieve a maximum coverage of distribution systems. In extreme …

The emergence of the microgrid (MG) concept, along with the increasing integration of
distributed generators (DGs), is enabling the rapid, emergency restoration of customers …

With frequent natural disasters, there is an increasing need to improve the power distribution
systems' resiliency. One potential solution is the utilization of microgrids with distributed …

Recent severe outages highlight the urgency of improving grid resiliency in the US microgrid
formation schemes are proposed to restore critical loads after outages occur. Most …

This paper presents a novel networked microgrids (MGs)-aided approach for service
restoration in a power distribution network. A mixed-integer linear program (MILP) is …
