Preventing Cascading Failure Through Fuzzy Co-Operative Control Mechanism Using V2G

Abstract

The previously proposed algorithms for preventing cascading failures, which lead to a blackout event, involve specific load shedding schemes, which introduce incurring losses in the power system network. In this paper, a cooperative control based algorithm using a vehicle to grid (V2G) technology based on a fuzzy logic approach is proposed to prevent cascading failures without loss incurrence. The algorithm is implemented on a standard IEEE-30 bus system, and it uses mathematical combinations heuristically to identify the critical nodes through the use of a self-propagation graph to dispatch the optimum power from V2G. For the enhancement of computational speed, a network operator considers only those vulnerable nodes, which are identified by a self-propagating graph. Through this, a network operator can easily detect critical nodes by rooting straight to the vulnerable transmission lines in the IEEE-30 bus network. The probabilistic modeling in this paper is performed in such a way that network operators will mitigate cascading failures events (CFEs) after the occurrence of (N − 1) and (N − 1 − 1) contingencies/blackout events without performing load shedding. The detailed experimental analysis provides better visualization of the impact of CFEs on power grids to the power network operators and therefore significantly improves the accuracy of taking necessary actions to compensate these CFEs.INDEX TERMS Cascading failure events, vehicle to grid technology, IEEE-30 bus network, fuzzy controller.

From Smart Grids to Super Smart Grids: A Roadmap for Strategic Demand Management for Next Generation SAARC and European Power Infrastructure

“…Any state's electrical grids are of highest importance. The capability of the FACTS devices to maintain system stability is also researched in [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44], and [45]. Before the invention of power electronics switches, these problems were dealt with by connecting reactors, capacitors, or synchronous generators using mechanical switches.…”

“…Due to this reason, structure vulnerabilities and uncertainties occurred in these multiple interconnected (MIRIPGs) infrastructures [5]. For example, considering the phenomena of cascading failures, which is also known as ripple effects, takes place in RIPGs, triggers an unpredictable form of chain reactions [6] [7] [8]. In 2011, the blackouts in Southern California and Southwest Arizona and the unprecedented blackout in 2012 in India were the most notable examples [9].…”
