PowerModelsRestoration.jl

A PowerModelsRestoration provides extensions to PowerModels for solving the power system restoration tasks. A core building block in PowerModelsRestoration is the Maximum Load Delivery (MLD) problem, which provides a reliable numerical method for solving challenging N-k damage scenarios, such as those that arise in the analysis of extreme events.

Core Problem Specifications

• Restoration Ordering Problem (rop)
• Minimum Restoration Set Problem (mrsp)
• Forward Restoration Redispatch
• Maximum Load Delivery with Discrete Variables (mld_uc)
• Maximum Load Delivery with Continuous Variables (mld)

Core Network Formulations

• AC (polar coordinates)
• DC Approximation (polar coordinates)
• SOC Relaxation (W-space)
• SDP Relaxation (W-space)
