Abstract
Natural disasters, such as typhoons and earthquakes, pose great challenges to power system resilience and power supply reliability. It is widely acknowledged that critical transmission lines play a significant role in enhancing the resilience and reliability of power systems under severe natural disasters. In order to improve the disaster resilience of power systems with renewables, a critical line identification approach is proposed in this work based on the complex network theory. Firstly, the concept of core skeleton network (CSN) of power systems with renewables is introduced and a two-step strategy is presented to optimise the CSNs of the concerned power system considering the variable outputs of renewables. Then, a statistical salience method incorporating edge salience and the state-of-the-art null model in complex network theory is proposed to identify critical lines of each CSN and the concerned power system with renewables. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed critical lines identification approach is verified by simulations on the modified IEEE 118-bus system with renewables, Guangdong Provincial Power System (GPPS) and Zhejiang Provincial Power System (ZPPS) in China. Simulation results show that by using the proposed approach, the critical transmission lines can be effectively identified, not requiring a predefined number of critical lines.
