This paper assesses the performance of interconnection lines by measuring their impacts on the main reliability and vulnerability indicators of interconnected power systems. The reliability study is performed using the sequential Monte Carlo simulation technique, while the vulnerability assessment is carried out by proposing a cascading failures methodology. The conclusions obtained show that highly connected infrastructures have simultaneously high reliability and limited robustness, which suggests that both approaches show different operational characteristics of the power system. Nevertheless, an appropriate increase in the number and capacity of the interconnections can help to improve both security parameters of the power supply. Seven case studies are performed based on the IEEE RTS-96 test system. The results can be used to help transmission system operators better understand the behaviour and performance of electrical networks. 000089816 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ENE2016-77172-R 000089816 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000089816 590__ $$a6.188$$b2020 000089816 591__ $$aOPERATIONS RESEARCH & MANAGEMENT SCIENCE$$b11 / 84 = 0.131$$c2020$$dQ1$$eT1 000089816 591__ $$aENGINEERING, INDUSTRIAL$$b11 / 49 = 0.224$$c2020$$dQ1$$eT1 000089816 592__ $$a1.76$$b2020 000089816 593__ $$aApplied Mathematics$$c2020$$dQ1 000089816 593__ $$aSafety, Risk, Reliability and Quality$$c2020$$dQ1 000089816 593__ $$aIndustrial and Manufacturing Engineering$$c2020$$dQ1 000089816 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000089816 700__ $$aGil, Pablo 000089816 700__ $$aMasera, Marcelo 000089816 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-3174-9703$$aYusta, Jose M.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000089816 7102_ $$15009$$2535$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
