Under typhoon disasters, distribution networks are prone to experiencing complex multiple faults and measurement information distortion of feeder terminal units (FTUs), which significantly reduces the accuracy of section location under incomplete information conditions. Existing studies typically treat section location and pre-disaster reinforcement as separate problems, failing to capture the coupled effects of fault uncertainty and information distortion on reinforcement decision-making, and thus cannot effectively guide reinforcement strategies from the perspective of section location performance. To address this issue, a pre-disaster reinforcement method for resilient distribution networks is developed from the perspective of improving section location performance. Section location performance is explicitly incorporated into the reinforcement decision-making process, enabling coordinated optimization between the physical structure and the information layer.
First, the spatial topology structure of the distribution network is combined with the Batts wind field model and typhoon track model to calculate the equivalent wind speed of distribution network components, and probabilistic models for section faults and FTU faults are established. Next, the Monte Carlo method is employed to generate disaster scenario sets containing both section fault states and information distortion states, and the K-medoids clustering method is adopted for scenario reduction to reduce the computational scale. On this basis, decision variables for section and FTU reinforcement are introduced, and reinforcement effects are characterized through the modification of fault and distortion probabilities. A section location model is established based on switching functions and the minimum set theory, combined with constraints including fault multiplicity, measurement consistency, and protection information, to achieve fault identification under complex conditions. Furthermore, a probability-weighted section location accuracy index is defined to evaluate performance across multiple scenarios. A coordinated optimization model is then formulated with the objective of minimizing the overall optimization cost, which consists of reinforcement investment cost and the economic loss converted from expected energy not supplied. The ε-constraint method is adopted to transform the problem into a single-objective formulation while ensuring that section location performance is not lower than a predefined threshold. To address computational complexity, a two-stage greedy search method is designed to iteratively screen and optimize reinforcement schemes.
Case studies are conducted on a 33-bus dual-end fed distribution network and a 10-bus system. The results show that, as reinforcement investment increases, section location accuracy improves, while expected energy not supplied and overall optimization cost decrease, both exhibiting diminishing marginal benefits. Under limited investment constraints, reinforcement measures tend to prioritize sections with high fault probabilities and critical topological positions, as well as key FTUs that significantly affect fault identification. Comparative analysis of different reinforcement strategies indicates that reinforcing only FTUs improves information quality but has limited impact on reducing operational losses, while reinforcing only sections effectively reduces fault uncertainty and significantly decreases energy not supplied. Coordinated reinforcement of sections and FTUs achieves higher section location accuracy under complex scenarios while maintaining a reasonable economic performance. Sensitivity analysis further shows that the section location performance constraint level has a significant impact on reinforcement decisions and cost distribution.
By incorporating section location performance constraints into pre-disaster reinforcement decision-making, the proposed method enables coordinated modeling and optimization of fault uncertainty and information distortion. Case study results show that: (1) Under limited investment constraints, the proposed method improves section location accuracy and reduces the impact of location uncertainty on operational losses, with consistent improvement trends observed across systems of different scales. (2) Section reinforcement and FTU reinforcement act on fault occurrence probability and information reliability, respectively, and their coordinated implementation simultaneously suppresses fault uncertainty and information distortion, thereby enhancing the stability of section location results under complex scenarios. (3) The section location performance constraint parameter regulates reinforcement decisions, and its variation affects the trade-off between reinforcement investment and operational losses, thereby influencing the selection of the optimal reinforcement scheme.
