Abstract

This papers highlights the benefit of coordinating resources on mulitple active distribution feeders during severe long duration outages through multi-microgrid formation. A graph-theory based multi-microgrid formation algorithm is developed which is agnostic of the underlying energy management scheme of the microgrids and solved in a rolling horizon fashion. The algorithm is then enhanced to handle multiple feeders where formation of long laterals needs to be avoided due to potential voltage control issues in distribution systems. The algorithm is evaluated on a synthetic two feeder system derived from interconnecting two IEEE 123 node system. The results indicate increased service to loads in the system and better utilization of renewable resources.
