With global climate change, increasingly frequent natural disasters have brought great challenges to the safe and reliable power supply and low-carbon transition of power distribution systems. Most of the existing researches on the distribution system under the impact of natural disasters only focus on the improvement of power supply reliability, but have not consider the impact of disaster severity and disaster response measures on carbon emissions. In order to juggle the load restoration and carbon emission mitigation of distribution system under natural disasters, this paper proposes an optimal allocation method of distributed renewable generations (DRGs) considering carbon emission for multi-scenario natural disasters based on the framework of cyber-physical-social system in energy (CPSSE), and establishes a three-stage optimization model of pre-disaster prevention-disaster attack-post-disaster restoration. For the purpose of ensuring the practicability and robustness of the allocation results, the disaster scenario is modeled and the selection method of the worst fault scenario under disaster is proposed. The progressive hedging algorithm (PHA) is adopted to solve the proposed multi-scenario optimization problem. Finally, the simulation results indicate that the proposed method can restore more lost load at a lower cost of carbon emissions.
