After a disaster, presence of electricity becomes even more crucial compared to its role in daily life. In this paper, an online decision support method is developed to restore medium voltage active distribution systems after an earthquake. The proposed method employs Markov Decision Process (MDP) to determine the sequence of actions which minimizes the expected restoration time. The method firstly predicts the health condition of the system components based on the Probability of Failure (Pf). These Pf values were priorly computed and plotted against Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) values. Then a sequence of restoration actions, i.e. the restoration strategy, for the system operator is determined by considering the prediction of health conditions and power flow analysis results. During the field operation, if an unexpected situation, i.e. unexpected state of a component or a significant variation in electrical quantities, is encountered by the system operator, the proposed method updates the restoration strategy by considering those variations from the initial prediction.

MDP based Decision Support for Earthquake Damaged Distribution System Restoration Arpalı, Onur Yigit; Aydın Göl, Ebru; Göl, Murat (2020-12-16) As the society becomes more dependent on the presence of electricity, the resilience of the power systems gains more importance. This paper develops a decision support method for distribution system operators to restore electricity after an earthquake to the maximum number of customers in the minimum expected duration. The proposed method employs Markov Decision Process (MDP) to determine the optimal restoration scheme. In order to determine the probability of the field component damage due to the earthquak...
A Novel MDP Based Decision Support Framework to Restore Earthquake Damaged Distribution Systems Aydın Göl, Ebru; Göl, Murat (2019-01-01) Electric power network expanded rapidly in recent decades due of the excessive need of electricity in every aspect of life, including critical infrastructures such as medical services, and transportation and communication systems. Natural disasters are one of the major reasons of electricity outage. It is extremely important to restore electrical energy in the shortest time possible after a disaster. This paper proposes a decision support method for electric system operators to restore electricity to the cr...
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT FOR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AND RESTORATION OF DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS Yılmaz, Uğur Can; Göl, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-6-30) Electricity has a crucial role in modern life, and its absence may cause catastrophic complications. Restoration of distribution systems requires an efficient decision support mechanism as well as an accurate real-time operation. Considering the utmost importance of fast restoration of the distribution system to provide uninterrupted electricity, a decision support mechanism is required to employ an efficient analysis of the system. Therefore, it is crucial to analyze the system in a fast manner. This thesi...
Application of a Hybrid Machine Learning model on short term electricty demand prediction Assar, Ahmed Khaled Ahmed Farouk; Fahrioğlu, Murat; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2022-2) Electricity demand forecasting is an important procedure in the electricity market and plays a great role in assuring a sustainable and efficient operation chain. By accurately forecasting the demand, one can see a considerable reduction in production costs as well as saving energy resources. Therefore, optimizing the demand forecasting techniques became an inseparable goal of power economics, leading to the introduction of machine learning to this sector that proved to be superior to other pre-defined alte...
Performance Analysis of Data Mining Techniques for Improving the Accuracy of Wind Power Forecast Combination Koksoy, Ceyda Er; Ozkan, Mehmet Baris; Küçük, Dilek; Bestil, Abdullah; Sonmez, Sena; Buhan, Serkan; Demirci, Turan; Karagöz, Pınar; Birturk, Aysenur (Springer International Publishing, 2015) Efficient integration of renewable energy sources into the electricity grid has become one of the challenging problems in recent years. This issue is more critical especially for unstable energy sources such as wind. The focus of this work is the performance analysis of several alternative wind forecast combination models in comparison to the current forecast combination module of the wind power monitoring and forecast system of Turkey, developed within the course of the RITM project. These accuracy improve...
