Modern power systems have relied upon AC distribution to supply end-customers with electricity. However, the use of new technologies, including solar photovoltaic farms, grid-scale energy storage systems, and electric vehicle charging stations are introducing large DC network sections into these predominantly AC distribution systems. Current engineering models do not and cannot consider these significant DC network sections in the optimization of plans and optimization of operations of distribution systems. As a result, distribution systems suffer inefficiencies, owners of these new technologies are placed at a disadvantage, and progress is stifled. The proposed Discovery research will address this lack of knowledge and tools for three-phase unbalanced AC-DC distribution systems by developing models, theory, and algorithms that will support their optimal planning and operation. Outcomes will benefit distribution utilities who will have these new tools to optimize their systems, customers who will benefit from reduced costs and improved services, and energy sector entrepreneurs who will have new investment opportunities. The research outcomes will therefore be disseminated broadly to academic, utility, industry, and government sectors to ensure uptake. Moreover, the research will offer an exciting training opportunity for students to hone their skills and interact with experts across the sector.

现代电力系统已依靠交流分布来提供电力的最终客户。但是，新技术的使用，包括太阳能光伏农场，网格尺度的储能系统和电动汽车充电站正在将大型DC网络部分引入这些主要的交流分配系统中。当前的工程模型在优化计划和配电系统运营优化时不会也不能考虑这些重要的DC网络部分。结果，分销系统遭受效率低下的效率，这些新技术的所有者处于不利地位，进度被扼杀了。拟议的发现研究将通过开发模型，理论和算法来解决三相不平衡的AC-DC分配系统缺乏知识和工具，从而支持其最佳计划和操作。成果将使分销公用事业受益，这些公用事业将拥有这些新工具来优化其系统，将从成本降低和改善服务中受益的客户以及将拥有新投资机会的能源部门企业家。因此，研究成果将大量传播到学术，公用事业，工业和政府部门，以确保吸收。此外，这项研究将为学生提供令人兴奋的培训机会，以磨练自己的技能并与整个行业的专家互动。
