Abstract

Enhancing power system resilience refers to the performance of the entire power system against severe natural events and even cyber attacks. As natural disasters increase year by in different countries, improving the resilience of power systems becomes more important than the past. The damages caused by these events amount to billions of dollars each year. Preparing the power system for such events, or in other words, making it resilient, can significantly reduce the damages. Various plans are proposed for pre-event resilience, during the event, and/or post-event. This article uses statistical methods and Markov probability to predict system failures and determines the distribution of generator outputs accordingly to minimize load shedding in the system. In fact, without planning and management distribution of outputs during the event, the operator will be forced to use corrective and emergency actions. In this article, a corrective method is compared with the proposed method, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method in reducing load shedding.
