Abstract
In this paper, we present a bilevel control framework to achieve a highly-reliable smart distribution network with large-scale penetration of distributed renewable resources (DRRs). We assume that the power distribution network consists of several residential/commercial communities. In the first level of the proposed control scheme, distributed community-level controllers are designed based on the stochastic model of demand and generation. These controllers utilize the local storage units and DRRs to maintain a certain level of reliability for the community. In order to formulate the residential demand and DRRs, we use the Gaussian white noise added to some periodic signals, formulated as a stochastic process. In the second level of the proposed control framework, we take the advantage of bulk generation units to improve the reliability by a global flow controller. In other words, we get help from a few number of bulk power plants in the grid to improve its reliability in the context of satisfying the residential demand with high probability. The global controller dispatches the available non-renewable power plants between communities to enhance the reliability of each community. Using our stochastic model, we obtain a theoretical low-threshold for the certainty of the demand satisfaction in the smart power distribution network.
