Abstract

Island microgrids are highly vulnerable to extreme weather, which threatens operational stability and post-disaster recovery. To address the challenge of widespread power outages caused by typhoons, a novel coordinated framework is proposed which optimizes electric ships as mobile power sources to enhance island microgrid resilience. By integrating a hybrid wind field model with an improved wind-resistant A* algorithm, the framework synergistically optimizes dynamic scenario-aware ship routing and distribution network reconfiguration. The problem is formulated as a mixed-integer second-order cone programming (MISOCP) model. Case studies based on real-world data from Hengsha Island, Shanghai, demonstrate that the proposed dynamic routing strategy significantly outperforms static approaches. Specifically, critical load recovery rates are improved by at least 29% during the navigation-restricted phase and total load curtailment costs are reduced by 31.6%. These findings reveal this significance of integrating spatiotemporal environmental dynamics into optimization frameworks, providing a robust decision-making tool for island grid operators to maintain power supply to critical loads under evolving disaster conditions.
