Interface Networks for Failure Localization in Power Systems

DC LODF for the network lines of the IEEE 118-bus depending on the type of interface network between subgrids.

Abstract

Transmission power systems usually consist of interconnected sub-grids that are operated relatively independently. When a failure happens, it is desirable to localize its impact within the sub-grid where the failure occurs. This paper introduces three interface networks to connect sub-grids, achieving better failure localization while maintaining robust network connectivity. The proposed interface networks are validated with numerical experiments on the IEEE 118-bus test network under both DC and AC power flow models.
