The ever-increasing utilization of sensitive loads in the industrial, commercial, and residential areas in distribution networks requires enhanced reliability and quality of supply. This can be achieved, thanks to self-healing features of smart grids that already include the control technologies necessary for the restoration strategy in case of a fault. In this paper, an analytical and global optimization model is proposed for the restoration problem. A novel mathematical formulation is presented for the reconfiguration problem reducing the number of required binary variables while covering more practical scenarios compared to the existing models. The considered self-healing actions besides the network reconfiguration are the nodal load-rejection, the tap setting modification of voltage regulation devices (incl. OLTCs, SVR, and CBs), and the active/reactive power dispatch of DGs. The voltage dependency of loads is also considered. Thus, the proposed optimization problem determines the most efficient restoration plan minimizing the number of de-energized nodes with the minimum number of self-healing actions. The problem is formulated as a Mixed-Integer Second Order Cone Programming (MISOCP) and solved using the Gurobi solver via the MATLAB interface YALMIP. A real 83-node distribution network is used to test and verify the presented methodology.
