Abstract

Various examples of methods and systems are provided for power distribution analysis and control. Dynamic modeling and resilience of a power distribution network can be utilized for response to disruptions in power distribution induced by event such as, e.g., severe weather. In one implementation, among others, a resilience metric can be determined based at least in part upon failure neighborhoods and recovery neighborhoods and operational information associated with a power distribution network. A vulnerability of the power distribution network can then be identified based at least in part upon the resilience metric and a response can be determined. The failure neighborhoods and recovery neighborhoods can be identified based at least in part upon a topology of the power distribution network and the operational information associated with the power distribution network.
