The emergence of electricity transmission with farther transporting distance, extra-higher voltage and greater transporting power and the formation of the regional interconnected power grid have greatly increased the probability of blackout, this phenomenon has fully exposed the vulnerability of large-scale interconnected power systems. In this paper, Electrical betweenness based on load transfer coefficient is proposed to construct structural vulnerability assessment index. Meanwhile, it is verified that the method is rational and available by analysising the difference of the IEEE-39 system between three attack modes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
