Comparison between the System Cascading Collapse Based Hidden Failure and Fault Chain Theory in the Determination of Sensitive Transmission Lines

Abstract:

This paper presents a computationally accurate technique used to determine the estimated average probability of a system cascading collapse in association with the effect of hidden failure on a protection system. This includes an accurate calculation of the probability of hidden failure as it will provide considerable effect on the results of the estimated average probability of system cascading collapse. The estimated average probability of a system cascading collapse is then used to determine the sensitive transmission contributing to a higher risk of a system cascading collapse. This information is important because it will assist the utility to determine the critical transmission lines before the occurrence of critical power system cascading collapse. Comparative study has been done with other techniques to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method used in the determination of sensitive transmission lines.
