摘要

With the fast expansion of distributed energy resources (DERs) and the proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs), traditional distribution networks are gradually transitioning to smart power distribution networks (PDNs). One example of such transitions is the integration of microgrids (MGs) in PDNs, in which DERs would be managed optimally to enhance the PDN’s economics, reliability, resilience, sustainability, and security. DERs can be adaptively situated before a disaster and dispatched strategically after a disaster to form mobile MGs, including EV clusters, mobile ESSs, and mobile emergency generators, to enhance the PDN’s resilience. This chapter focuses on the day-ahead allocation and real-time dispatch of mobile MGs for enhancing the PDN resilience in constrained and coupled PDNs and urban transportation networks (UTNs). First, resilience enhancement of PDN by integration of mobile MGs and DERs is discussed; then, resilience enhancement of PDN by integrating large-scale EVs is investigate; finally, resilience enhancement of PDN by coordinating the coupled PDN-UTN planning and operation is presented. The constrained PDN-UTN coordination can improve social benefits available to EV owners and achieve a win-win situation for all PDN participants.
