The invention relates to a
cascading failure search and weak
link analysis method based on an operation
reliability model. The method comprises steps: initial failure is generated randomly; a DC
power flow is calculated, whether a load threshold-crossing line exists in a power
system is judged, if yes, a next step is carried out, or otherwise, the operation is stopped; an initial failure set is generated, and through the operation
reliability model, the threshold-crossing line
outage probability is calculated; the power
system state probability is calculated; if the power state probability is larger than a set threshold and the failure scale is smaller than a set threshold, the power state is added to an alternative failure set, and if no state meeting the condition exists, search is stopped; the initial failure set is taken as an alternative failure set, the current alternative failure set is emptied, and the above steps are repeated. Through searching a
cascading failure event in different initial failure and analyzing a
system weak link, a corresponding system reform scheme is provided, happening of the
cascading failure is prevented, a subsequent event is found during an event development process, and further evolution of the cascading event can be prevented.
