Survivability Evaluation Method for Cascading Failure of Electric Cyber Physical System Considering Load Optimal Allocation

الملخص EN

The scale of the electric cyber physical system (ECPS) is continuously extending, and the existing cascade failure models ignore both the information flow and power flow transferring characteristics and also lack effective survivability analysis.

In this paper, the quantitative evaluation method for cascading failure of ECPS survivability considering optimal load allocation is proposed.

Firstly, according to the system topological structure and correlation, the degree-betweenness weighted correlation matrix of ECPS is established by defining the degree function as well as the electric betweenness, and the formal representation of coupled ECPS network model is realized.

Secondly, based on the structural connectivity change and risk propagation range of ECPS cascade failure, the survivability evaluation model is designed by taking into account the constraints such as node load capacity limitation, information flow optimal allocation strategy, power flow optimization equation, and system safety operation.

Finally, the firefly algorithm with chaotic Lévy flight is proposed to solve the evaluation model efficiently.

The case study vividly shows that the evaluation method can effectively quantify the survivability of ECPS and thus enhance the evaluation efficiency of large-scale coupled systems.
