Abstract
The N-1 criterion is a critical factor for ensuring the reliable and resilient operation of electric power distribution networks. However, the increasing complexity of distribution networks and the associated growth in data size have created a significant challenge for distribution network planners. To address this issue, we propose a fast N-1 verification procedure for urban distribution networks that combines CIM file data analysis with MILP-based mathematical modeling. Our proposed method leverages the principles of CIM file analysis for distribution network N-1 analysis. We develop a mathematical model of distribution networks based on CIM data and transfer it into MILP. We also take into account the characteristics of medium voltage distribution networks after a line failure and select the feeder section at the exit of each substation with a high load rate to improve the efficiency of N-1 analysis. We validate our approach through a series of case studies and demonstrate its scalability and superiority over traditional N-1 analysis and heuristic optimization algorithms. By enabling online N-1 analysis, our approach significantly improves the work efficiency of distribution network planners. In summary, our proposed method provides a valuable tool for distribution network planners to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of their N-1 analyses. By leveraging the advantages of CIM file data analysis and MILP-based mathematical modeling, our approach contributes to the development of more resilient and reliable electric power distribution networks.
