ABSTRACT Reliable power grids are also vulnerable to extreme events, which are with a low probability but highly risk events, such as a typhoon. Power system, as an important infrastructure, should have the ability to withstand the adverse effect of such extreme events. This paper proposes a quantitative resilience assessment framework for power transmission systems operated under typhoon weather, which considers both the spatial and temporal impacts of typhoon. The proposed framework allows systematic estimation of resilience considering weather intensity, fault location of components, restoration resources, and emergency response plans. The typhoon wind field model for disaster risk assessment is applied to evaluate the intensity and the duration of impacts. The finite element modeling of components is developed to model the outage probability of components. A new resilience index considering the duration of extreme events (RICD) is proposed, which not only considers the performance of system but also considers characteristics of disruption. The proposed method is demonstrated by four case studies using the modified IEEE 6-bus test system. The numerical results reveal that the proposed method is able to quantify the influence of extreme event on power system resilience, and it shows that RICD is more feasible than two traditional indices in terms of normalization and comparability.
A reliability assessment framework was proposed in REF for quantifying the power transmission system performance under the typhoon weather.
