Abstract
It is well known that interdependence between electric power systems and other infrastructures can impact energy reliability and resilience, but it is less clear which particular interactions have the most impact. There is a need for methods that can rank the relative importance of these interdependencies. This paper describes a new tool for measuring resilience and ranking interactions. This tool, known as Computing Resilience of Infrastructure Simulation Platform (CRISP), samples from historical utility data to avoid many of the assumptions required for simulation-based approaches to resilience quantification. This paper applies CRISP to rank the relative importance of four types of interdependence (natural gas supply, communication systems, nuclear generation recovery, and a generic restoration delay) in two test cases: the IEEE 39-bus test case and a 6394-bus model of the New England/New York power grid. The results confirm industry studies suggesting that a loss of the natural gas system is the most severe specific interdependence faced by this region.
