Speech Title: Demand Response based Resilience Enhancement of
Distribution Systems
Abstract: Service restoration is one of the critical functions to enable
the future self-healing distribution system. To restore the distribution system
in a timely and reliable manner, the realistic system operating conditions need
to be accurately characterized. Actually, the operating behaviors of various
loads are deeply coupled with the load restoration process and depend on the
outage duration of distribution systems. How to characterize the impacts of the
time-dependent behaviors of loads is vital importance to improve the resilience
of distribution systems. Meanwhile, flexible loads can also provide demand
response services to speed up the load restoration. This report is focused on
the latest studies on the impacts of TCL cold load pickup and 5G base station
backup batteries on distribution system restoration, demand response based
distribution system resilience enhancement and future work of urban distribution
system load restoration.
