Characterising the security of power system topologies through a combined assessment of reliability, robustness, and resilience

Resumen: Electricity has a prominent role in modern economies; therefore, ensuring the availability of electricity supply should be a top priority for policymakers. The joint assessment of reliability, robustness, and resilience can be a useful criterion to characterise different topologies and improve the security of supply. This paper proposes a novel integrated analysis of these three attributes to quantify the security of power grid topologies. Hence, eight case studies with different topologies created using the IEEE 24-bus reliability test system were analysed. Reliability was evaluated by applying the sequential Monte Carlo approach, robustness was evaluated by simulating cascading failures, and resilience was evaluated by analysing recovery curves. The different indicators associated with each of the three evaluations were then calculated. The results obtained were discussed both graphically and quantitatively in a novel three-dimensional representation, where the importance of joint analysis was also highlighted. The proposed method can serve as an additional tool for planners to identify possible investments or improvements in power system topologies.
