Formation of ad hoc microgrids for prompt critical load pickup during blackouts by leveraging stochastic distributed energy resources

Abstract Extreme weather events that are increasing in frequency and impact can cause extended disruptions to power grids. To increase the resilience of power grids, focus is shifting from infrastructure hardening to quickening the restoration of distribution systems after a disaster. One method to...
