Abstract

The exposure to High-Impact Low-Probability (HILP) events can have significant impact on the performance of transmission networks. Under such conditions, the power system components must be resilient and robust to meet the uninterrupted load demand. This paper proposes a quantitative framework for temporal assessment of operational resilience of transmission network and suggests suitable adaptation measures when the system is subjected to high impact cyclonic windstorm lasting for a long duration. The fragility curves of transmission lines are correlated with wind profiles during cyclone and failure probability each transmission line is determined using the Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) The operational resilience of transmission networks is quantified by computing Total Transfer Capability (TTC), Available Transfer Capability (ATC), Existing Transmission Uses (ETU), Total Reliability Margin (TRM) and unserved load. To improve the operational resilience, adaptation measures with modifications in the robustness of the structural strength is proposed and investigated on standard IEEE 57 bus system and IEEE 118 bus system. Sensitivity analysis is performed to understand how changes in the percentage increase of robustness affect the overall system performance. The findings give valuable insights for evaluating the operational resilience of transmission line infrastructure during such extreme weather events.
