Special Session 4
Survivability Enhancement Strategies for Power Systems under Extreme Events
The security and stability of a modern power system is of great importance for social and economic development and security of a country. However, in addition to conventional power system failures and risks, the secure and stable operation of the power system is also confronted with severe challenges from extreme weather events such as typhoons, freezing rain, and unconventional extreme events such as deliberate human strikes, electromagnetic attacks and cyber attacks. These extreme events have features of small probability and high destructiveness, which can pose great threat to the survivability of the power system. The typhoon "Capricorn" and Russia-Ukraine conflict show that, faced with such extreme scenarios, the security and stability of the power system is rather fragile, and the existing methods could not well cope with. However, it is very demanding to deal with the impacts of aforementioned extreme events on the power system, especially for unconventional extreme events. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new theories and methods to cope with extreme events impacts on the power system, in order to promote the extreme survival capability of the power system under extreme events. To this end, this special session focuses on the topic of the survivability enhancement strategies for power systems under extreme events. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:1. Extreme event scenarios construction technologies for power systems
2. Evaluation methods for survival capability of power systems under extreme events
3. Modeling technology for damage evolution of power systems under extreme events
4. Emergency operation and control technologies for power systems in response to extreme events
5. Rapid recovery and repair technologies for power systems after extreme events
