配電系統における故障点探査および復旧作業スケジューリングに基づいた故障復旧

The service restoration within a short period, performed when the permanent fault occurs in a distribution system, is essential for high supply reliability. The service restoration can be achieved by searching the fault location and controlling switches to isolate the fault area. However, the service restoration faces difficulties in the uncertainty of the fault location and the multiple crews' scheduling of the switching operations. It is important to search for the unknown fault location efficiently and optimize the crews' scheduling for their service restoration procedures. This paper proposes an optimization method of the service restoration procedures performed by crews considering the search of the unknown fault location by crews to handle the difficulties. The proposed method combines an efficient fault location search with scheduling for multiple crews. We formulate the scheduling problem as a mixed-integer linear programming problem which allows us to schedule the procedures efficiently using optimization solvers. The proposed method is verified by the computational experiments using the large-scale distribution system model with many manual and remote switches.
