Abstract
AbstractA disaster disrupts energy trading between the distribution network (DN) and autonomous areas in the multi‐area active distribution network (MA‐ADN). Since these areas are self‐interested agents, the energy transaction cost between them should be considered when determining the grid restoration scheme. In this regard, a new three‐level resilience‐oriented restoration (TLROR) framework is proposed to optimally schedule available tie‐lines, and distributed energy resources (DERs) in the MA‐ADN, considering the autonomy and privacy of their ownership. In the first level of the proposed TLROR, an electrical price vector (EPV) is created with the contribution of different areas. In the second level, each area should calculate the amount of imported active and reactive power from the DN through its tie branches and save it in the transactive power list (TPL). Finally, at the third level, the transactive energy market is cleared by the DN operator considering economic issues and operating limits. The proposed method provides energy transactions between independent agents to enhance MA‐ADN resiliency, with the least information sharing, and privacy preserving. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified using the modified IEEE 33‐bus MA‐ADN and a part of the DN in the Pol‐e Dokhtar in the Lorestan province of Iran.
