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.

现代电力系统依靠交流配电为最终客户提供电力。然而，新技术的使用，包括太阳能光伏发电场、电网规模储能系统和电动汽车充电站，正在将大型直流网络部分引入这些以交流为主的配电系统中。当前的工程模型在优化配电系统规划和优化运行时没有也不可能考虑这些重要的直流网络部分。结果，分配系统效率低下，这些新技术的所有者处于不利地位，进步受到抑制。拟议的 Discovery 研究将通过开发支持其最佳规划和运行的模型、理论和算法来解决三相不平衡交直流配电系统知识和工具的缺乏。结果将有利于配电公用事业公司，他们将拥有这些新工具来优化其系统，客户将受益于降低的成本和改进的服务，以及能源行业的企业家将获得新的投资机会。因此，研究成果将广泛传播给学术、公用事业、工业和政府部门，以确保被采用。此外，该研究将为学生提供令人兴奋的培训机会，以磨练他们的技能并与整个行业的专家互动。
