Recovery Strategy of Distribution Network Based on Power Supply Capability Assessment of Local Area Configured with Energy Gateway

Abstract

The growing integration of DG enhances distribution network resilience, but existing centralized fault recovery strategies face critical limitations: excessive computational burdens on DCs and the insufficient utilization of local control capabilities, particularly with large-scale DG deployments. Current studies often fail to balance computational efficiency and dynamic recovery coordination between centralized and decentralized resources. To address the issue, a hierarchical control architecture is proposed that involves collaboration between the DC and LA energy gateways. By dynamically quantifying LA PSC through net power feasibility analysis, the framework optimizes network reconfiguration (DC level) and decentralized DG scheduling (gateway level). Validated on a modified IEEE 45-bus system, the strategy restored 7 MWh (4:00 fault) and 5 MWh (10:00 fault) of load, outperforming static methods by 26.9× in the mid-day case. While effective in urban grids, rural DG-sparse areas require future integration of mobile storage. The work balances centralized coordination and decentralized execution, offering a scalable resilience solution for modern networks.
