| description | There has been a notable increase in the frequency and severity of extreme events, such as hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and storms. These events, although infrequent, have a significant disruptive effect, causing prolonged outages and compromising essential services, thereby severely affecting customers’ safety. As a result, there is an urgent requirement to enhance the resilience of distribution networks by quickly restoring the loads during and after a disaster. In this regard, this paper reviews the existing studies on black-start service restoration in active distribution systems and microgrids. A comprehensive review is conducted for each aspect of the restoration problem, encompassing various proposed methods and modeling techniques found in the existing literature. The aim of this review is to consolidate the knowledge and findings from previous studies, providing a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in the field. Also, some key research directions for the future work in this field are recommended for developing more practical and reliable methods. |
