Risk Assessment of Multi-area Interconnected Power System under Gas Station Network Attacked

Abstract This paper mainly investigates the risk assessment of multi-area interconnected power system with probabilistic optimal power flow (POPF) for charging load of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) under gas station network attacked. Firstly, the PHEV charging model is developed by analyzing the change of PHEV operation mode after running out of gasoline. Secondly, in a multi-region interconnected power system, a line overload risk index is established to evaluate the impact of PHEV charging on the tie-line powers with the gas station network unavailable, and POPF considering PHEVs, wind and photovoltaic generation is employed to reduce the risk of system operation. Finally, the method is tested on IEEE 118-bus system to analyze the impacts of PHEV charging on tie-line powers and the entire system under gas station network attacked, and the economy and safety of system operation are evaluated before and after optimization.
