Systems and methods for integrating demand response with service restoration in an electric distribution system. The electric distribution system may include a plurality of regions, zones, and/or areas including at least an outage area that includes a fault and is not receiving electric current from the electric distribution system and a restoration area that is receiving electric current from the electric distribution system and that may be selectively configured to provide electric current to a selected portion of the outage area. The electric distribution system also includes a plurality of demand responsive loads configured to be selectively isolated from the electric distribution system responsive to a load shed signal. The demand responsive loads may be selectively utilized during service restoration, such as to provide additional excess capacity within the restoration area and/or decrease a magnitude of the electric load applied by the selected portion of the outage area.
A method of restoring electrical service to a selected portion of an electric distribution system, wherein the selected portion includes at least a sub-portion of an outage area, wherein the outage area includes a fault and is not receiving an electric current from the electric distribution system, and further wherein the electric distribution system is in electrical communication with a plurality of demand responsive loads configured to be selectively isolated from the electric distribution system responsive to a load shed signal, the method comprising:
A method of restoring electrical service to a selected portion of an electric distribution system, the method comprising:
