As the frequency of extreme weather events continues to rise, there is an urgent need to strengthen the safe and stable operation of active distribution networks (ADNs), and it is of great value to establish highly resilient ADNs to withstand multi-faults caused by extreme weather events. This paper proposes a multi-period restoration approach for the resilience increase of ADNs by considering fault rapid recovery and component repair under typhoon disasters. Firstly, based on the structural reliability theory, the failure rate model of the main components is established, and in light of the system information entropy, the typical fault scenario selection strategy is designed to determine the branches with high fault probability. Then, according to the fault islanding division and network reconfiguration, a fault rapid recovery method is suggested for the ADNs, where the impact of typhoon disasters on the output features of distributed generators (DGs) are taken into account, and meanwhile, the network structure and the output power of the DGs are jointly optimized to minimize the operating cost of the ADNs. Further, a fault component repair model is formulated by adopting the adaptive ant colony algorithm, and a multi-period restoration approach is proposed for the ADNs to fulfill a rolling optimization of the network reconfiguration and fault component repair. The improved IEEE 33-node and IEEE 118-node systems are used for the approach verification, and the results show that the proposed approach can effectively improve the overall load restoration level and increase the component repair efficiency. Following a multi-criteria resilience evaluation system, the proposed approach enables the ADNs to more effectively withstand typhoon disasters, offering a resilience increase of 6.93 % and 32.24 % regarding the 33-node and 118-node systems.
