Abstract

With the growing level of uncertainties in today's power systems, the vulnerability analysis of a power system with uncertain parameters becomes a must. This paper proposes a two-stage adaptive robust optimization (ARO) model for the vulnerability analysis of power systems. The main goal is to immunize the solutions against all possible realizations of the modeled uncertainty. In doing so, the uncertainties are defined by some pre-determined intervals defined around the expected values of uncertain parameters. In our model, there are a set of first-stage decisions made before the uncertainty is revealed (attacker decision) and a set of second-stage decisions made after the realization of uncertainties (defender decision). This setup is formulated as a mixed-integer trilevel nonlinear program (MITNLP). Then, we recast the proposed trilevel program to a single-level mixed-integer linear program (MILP), applying the strong duality theorem (SDT) and appropriate linearization approaches. The efficient off-the-shelf solvers can guarantee the global optimum of our final MILP model. We also prove a lemma which makes our model much easier to solve. The results carried out on the IEEE RTS and modified Iran's power system show the performance of our model to assess the power system vulnerability under uncertainty.
