contents This paper introduces a distributed contingency detection algorithm for detecting unobservable contingencies in power distribution systems using stochastic hybrid system (SHS) models. We aim to tackle the challenge of limited measurement capabilities in distribution networks that restrict the ability to detect contingencies promptly. We incorporate the dynamics of distribution network connections, load feeders, PV, and battery energy storage system (BESS) hybrid resources into a fully correlated SHS model representing the distribution system as a randomly switching system between different structures during contingency occurrence. We show that jumps in the SHS model correspond to contingencies in the physical power grid. We propose a probing approach based on magnitude-modulation inputs (MaMI) to make contingencies detectable. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through simulations on a sample distribution system.
