Abstract
Abstract This study introduces a strategy for the pre‐allocation and dispatch of mobile power sources (MPSs) within a power‐transportation coupled network, targeting efficient distribution network fault recovery under extreme weather conditions. The strategy incorporates the Dijkstra algorithm and blind number theory to analyse the MPS driving path and generate fault scenarios respectively, considering the effects of extreme weather on traffic capacity and distribution network fault rate. The MPS pre‐allocation model, formulated to minimize the load outage loss, MPS investment, and driving fuel cost, provides a foundation for optimization of the dispatch process. The dispatch optimization model adapts to dynamic information from the power‐transportation coupled network to make decisions on load restoration sequencing and MPS driving path. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is demonstrated through an application to the IEEE 33‐node distribution system and a corresponding 33‐node transportation network.
