Abstract

The integration of intermittent distributed energy resources (DERs) can help alleviate power loss, but also alters the load distribution and thus dynamic network reconfiguration is necessary. DERs can also work as back-up energy resources for restoring loads isolated during an outage. This paper studies the effects of DERs on the network reconfiguration problem based using the decentralized approach given in part I. Dynamic behaviors of the DERs during network restoration are studied as well.
