- Abstract
Microgrids have the capability to enhance the resiliency of power systems by supplying local loads during emergency situations. However, the disturbance incident and clearance times cannot be predicted precisely. Therefore, this study is focused on enhancing the resiliency of hybrid microgrids considering feasible islanding and survivability of critical loads. The optimisation problem is decomposed into normal and emergency operation problems. In normal operation, unit commitment status of dispatchable generators and schedules of batteries are revised to ensure a feasible islanding following a disturbance event. In emergency operation, the decision between charging of batteries for future dispatch and feeding of lesser critical loads is considered. In addition, a strategy for minimisation of load curtailment during switching of scheduling windows is also considered. These two considerations can mitigate the curtailment of critical loads during the emergency period. Finally, a resiliency index is formulated to evaluate the performance of the proposed strategy during emergency operation. Numerical simulations have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed strategy for enhancing the resiliency of hybrid microgrids.
