Resilience Enhancement of Power Grid System Under Extreme Weather Events

• Developed a two-stage stochastic mixed-integer linear programming (SMILP) framework to enhance power grid resilience under typhoon disasters.
• Proposed a tri-level robust optimization framework using a Defender-Attacker-Defender model, integrating pre-disaster hardening, in-disaster impact assessment, and post-disaster recovery to minimize load loss.
• Designed an intelligent power grid allocation strategy considering secondary disasters and public opinion, utilizing Extra-Tree prediction, sentiment analysis, and Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP).
