Sensitivity Analyses of Resilience-oriented Risk-averse Active Distribution Systems Planning

Abstract

This paper presents sensitivity analyses of resilience-based active distribution system planning solutions with respect to different parameters. The distribution system planning problem is formulated as a two-stage risk-averse stochastic optimization model with conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) as the risk measure. The probabilistic scenarios are obtained using regional wind profiles, and Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to obtain failure scenarios based on component fragility models. The planning measure includes advanced distribution grid operations with intentional islanding measures. The three main parameters used in this work for sensitivity analysis are the number of scenarios, risk preference, and planning budget allocation. Such analysis can provide additional information to system operators on dispatching the planning budget and available resources properly to enhance the grid's resilience.
