Abstract

In this paper, a novel method has been proposed that, determines the necessary actions to restore the power system as quickly as possible in the event of an overall outage of the power system, when there is more than one black start unit in the power system, it will be divided into several islands in order to faster restoration. The proposed method uses a bi-level optimization algorithm that, determines needed actions for restoration process in an integrated approach. These actions are partitioning of the power system, units' start-up sequence, determination of optimal transmission path between buses and sequence of energizing transmission lines and buses. The proposed algorithm has been implemented on IEEE 39-bus test system to show the advantage of the method.
