Designing Survivable Power Systems

摘要

Survivability, or the ability to provide power to consumers/loads in spite of multiple simultaneous faults caused by natural or hostile disruptions, is a desirable feature of any power system. Topology (or design) is a key factor determining survivability of the power system. In our study, we develop mathematical and numerical tools to analyze the topological survivability of utility power systems. A new web topology of enhanced survivability is suggested.
