Evaluation of Black-Start Schemes Employing Entropy Weight-Based Decision-Making Theory
Publication: Journal of Energy Engineering
Volume 136, Issue 2
Abstract
Optimization of schemes for black-start is one of the most important factors determining the speed of power system restoration after either a global blackout or a local outage. In this paper a novel method employing the entropy weight-based decision-making theory is proposed for this application. By using the method for the decision making in black start, the subjective weights acquired from knowledge and experience of experts could be used in conjunction with the objective weights (entropy weighs) deduced from some closely related indices. Obviously, the developed method can greatly improve the performance in power system restoration by overcoming the shortcomings of conventional methods that only use either the subjective or the objective weights. Furthermore, the proposed method is applicable in power systems with different levels of black-start experience for assisting the optimal black-start decision making. It is shown that the proposed method is suitable for power systems with different levels of black-start experience.
