“…Over the last decade, some scholars have focused on optimal preventive splitting of bulk power systems using different scenario generation and reduction techniques. Amraee and Saberi solved a Bender's decomposition technique based 2‐stage mixed integer linear programming problem considering the slow coherency of synchronous generators, inter‐connectivity of each island, lower number of line switching, and the frequency stability constraint. Each individual island consists of a coherent group of generators, and its boundaries are determined with the aim of minimizing total load shedding.…”

Summary Nowadays, occurrence of severe contingencies may cause an interconnected power system to lose stability and lead to the partial or wide‐spread cascading failures. Hence, intentional islanding is the last countermeasure to mitigate the system vulnerability and avoid the catastrophic wide area blackout. This paper proposes a novel probabilistic splitting strategy for generating all possible islanding solutions and evaluating different static and dynamic constraints in reduced power system graph. The proposed stochastic scenario generation algorithm investigates the steady‐state stability of all partitions in each generated solution taking into account the uncertainties of loads and wind farms. Multi‐objective binary imperialistic competitive algorithm is then developed to find the optimum line switching points that minimizes load‐generation mismatch and probability of islands' partial blackout, maximizes voltage stability security margin, and satisfies the slow coherency, connectivity, voltage, and the transmission capacity constraints. Monte Carlo simulation and point estimation method are applied in the stochastic programming model to investigate the islands' stability, calculate the optimization error, and determine the critical stressed transmission lines and PQ‐busses under uncertain operating condition. The validity and speed of the proposed approach are revealed using simulation on IEEE 39‐bus standard system.

“…Thus, it is necessary to make a trade-off between the requirement of handling the stability issues and the requirement of real-time decision. It is commonly agreed that the sudden active power imbalance is the primary and the severest threat to the island transient stability after system splitting [18,[20][21][22]27]. A large power imbalance disturbance caused by the splitting action would possibly lead to insufferable frequency dip/rise on the islands, and severely threaten the island transient process.…”

Active splitting control utilizes real-time decision and system-level splitting to prevent cascading blackouts and to maintain power supply under severe disturbances. Splitting strategy searching (SSS) is one of the most crucial issues in active splitting control for deciding ''where to split''. SSS determines the splitting surface in real time to properly divide the asynchronous generators into isolated islands with an optimal control effect. In this paper, an SSS approach that focuses on island stability is presented. The proposed SSS approach is designed to ensure a rational stability margin and regulation ability on each island during and after the transient process of system splitting. This method includes the active/reactive power flow feasibility constraints and voltage/angle stability constraints in the steady state, as well as the frequency response capability constraints in the transient process. By considering the island stability constraints in the SSS, the proposed approach can avoid the splitting strategies with poor stability performance. Therefore, the major advantage of the proposed approach is ensuring better island static and transient stability during and after the splitting control. In addition, the entire model is formulated as a mixedinteger second-order cone programming (MISOCP) model. Thus, it can be rapidly solved by using commercial optimization solvers. Numerical simulation of a realistic provincial power system in central China demonstrates the validity of the proposed approach and the necessity of considering the island stability issues.

We propose a generative graph model for electrical infrastructure networks that accounts for heterogeneity in both node and edge type. To inform the model design, we analyze the properties of power grid graphs derived from the U.S. Eastern Interconnection, Texas Interconnection, and Poland transmission system power grids. Across these datasets, we find subgraphs induced by nodes of the same voltage level exhibit shared structural properties atypical to small-world networks, including low local clustering, large diameter, and large average distance. On the other hand, we find subgraphs induced by transformer edges linking nodes of different voltage types contain a more limited structure, consisting mainly of small, disjoint star graphs. The goal of our proposed model is to match both these inter and intra-network properties by proceeding in two phases: the first phase adapts the Chung-Lu random graph model, taking desired vertex degrees and desired diameter as inputs, while the second phase of the model is based on a simpler random star graph generation process. We test the model's performance by comparing its output across many runs to the aforementioned real data. In nearly all categories tested, we find our model is more accurate in reproducing the unusual mixture of properties apparent in the data than the Chung-Lu model. We also include graph visualization comparisons, a brief analysis of edge-deletion resiliency, and guidelines for artificially generating the model inputs in the absence of real data.
