Fault Resilience in Energy Community Microgrids

This paper presents a study addressing resilience in Energy Communities microgrids. Considering the context of an Energy Community it establishes optimized solutions to ensure that the microgrid can survive failures using the prosumers distributed generation, their flexibility and the use of reconfiguration. The optimized solution maximizes the time availability offered to the users and minimizes the unserved energy, in case of a branch interruption. Additionally, it considers the establishment of additional redundant branches in order to increase the Energy Community resilience. The microgrid will be able to continue its operation, making use of local generation, energy flexibility and additional connections.
