Evaluating the Effect of Dynamic and Static Modelling on Cascading Failure Analysis in Power Systems
2021
As the main cause of large blackouts, understanding the complex interactions involved in cascading failure propagation is a critical area of ongoing research. The static model of cascading failures is a well-accepted method to investigate the cascading effects in power systems. However, as the power system evolves, dynamic behaviours become more variable, it is necessary to evaluate the validity of the assumptions in the static model. This paper compares and validates a conventional static model with a novel dynamic model capturing frequency dynamics. N-2 contingency analysis is used to trigger cascading events and the unserved demand and the number of branch outages are used as metrics. Analysis using the 39-bus, 200-bus and 2000-bus benchmark systems reveal similarities and differences between the static and dynamic models and reveal, for the first time, how these differences vary as network size grows. Sensitivity analysis on system dispatch capabilities provides some initial guidance to help reduce the differences between models and helps with understanding of the relative importance of cascading mechanisms.
