Popis: Distribution systems are inevitably vulnerable to natural disasters, which causes multiple damages within or outside the system. The disruption of supply demands microgrid formation, where the objective is to maximize the restoration of critical loads. The complete restoration requires repair of damaged regions which brings the need for an efficient crew selection, repair time estimation, and crew dispatch. Ranking of load points and location are important considerations for strategic placement of distributed generation units. Prioritization of damaged regions is required for efficient crew dispatch. These ranking depends on multiple criteria based on subjective opinions of the experts. However, the existing methods fail to take account of the same. This paper presents fuzzy approaches which fill the gap present in the existing methods by explaining the theoretical solutions to ranking of load points, locations, crew selection, estimation of repair times, and prioritization of the damaged regions.
