Two-Stage Optimization of Mobile Energy Storage Sizing, Pre-Positioning, and Re-Allocation for Resilient Networked Microgrids with Dynamic Boundaries

Networked microgrids (NMGs) enhance the resilience of power systems by enabling mutual support among microgrids via dynamic boundaries. While previous research has optimized the locations of mobile energy storage (MES) devices, the critical aspect of MES capacity sizing has been largely neglected, d...

description Networked microgrids (NMGs) enhance the resilience of power systems by enabling mutual support among microgrids via dynamic boundaries. While previous research has optimized the locations of mobile energy storage (MES) devices, the critical aspect of MES capacity sizing has been largely neglected, despite its direct impact on costs. This paper introduces a two-stage optimization framework for MES sizing, pre-positioning, and re-allocation within NMGs. In the first stage, the capacity sizing and pre-positioning of MES devices are optimized before a natural disaster. In the second stage, the re-allocation and active power output of MES devices are adjusted post-disaster, with boundary switches operated based on the damage scenarios. The framework restores unserved loads by either forming isolated microgrids using MES or re-establishing connections between microgrids via smart switches. The proposed framework is modeled mathematically and solved using a customized progressive hedging algorithm. Extensive experiments on modified IEEE 33-node and 69-node systems demonstrate the model’s effectiveness and applicability in improving system resilience.
