The frequent occurrences of cascading failures in power grids have been receiving continuous attention in recent years. An urgent task for us is to understand the cascading failure vulnerability of power grids against various kinds of attacks. We consider a cost restrained hybrid attack problem in power grids, in which both nodes and links are targeted with a limited total attack cost. We propose an attack centrality metric for a component (node or link) based on the consequence and cost of the removal of the component. Depending on the width of cascading failures considered, the attack centrality can be a local or global attack centrality. With the attack centrality, we further provide a greedy hybrid attack, and an optimal hybrid attack with the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) framework. Simulation results on IEEE bus test data show that the optimal hybrid attack is more efficient than the greedy hybrid attack. Furthermore, we find counterintuitively that the local centrality based algorithms are better than the global centrality based ones when the cost constraint is considered in the attack problem.
Global warming leads the world to think of a different way of transportation: avoiding internal combustion engines and electrifying the transportation sector. With a high penetration of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations on an existing power dis
Sensing and measurement systems are quintessential to the safe and reliable operation of electric power grids. Their strategic placement is of ultimate importance because it is not economically viable to install measurement systems on every node and
In this paper, a phasor measurement unit (PMU)-based wide-area damping control method is proposed to damp the interarea oscillations that threaten the modern power system stability and security. Utilizing the synchronized PMU data, the proposed almos
In modern power grids, a local failure or attack can trigger catastrophic cascading failures, which make it challenging to assess the attack vulnerability of power grids. In this Brief, we define the $K$-link attack problem and study the attack vulne
We consider the problem of stability analysis for distribution grids with droop-controlled inverters and dynamic distribution power lines. The inverters are modeled as voltage sources with controllable frequency and amplitude. This problem is very ch
