Contingency plans based on N - 1 and N - 2 contingencies are already very much used by utilities . Artificial intelligent methods are new trends for analysing the contingency scenario along with state of art congestion management. This gives extra backup and b oost to reliable operation under contingent scenario of power system. This paper envisages the summary of all those efforts. This paper will help utilities to put more thinking in terms of recent developments in fast and intelligent computing methods. The paper highlights classical research and modern trends in contingency analysis such as hybrid artificial intelligent methods. Steady state stability assessment of a power system pursues a twofold objective:first to appraise the system's capability to withs tand major contingencies,and second to suggest remedial actions,i.e. means to enhance this capability,whenever needed. The first objective is the concern of analysis,the second is a matter of control.

Power System Contingency Ranking Using Fast Decoupled Load Flow Methodpaperpublications3
Abstract: Voltage instability is the phenomena associated with heavily loaded power systems. It is normally aggravated due to large disturbance. The Power system security is one of the significant aspects, where the proper action needs to be taken for the unseen contingency. In the event of contingency, the most serious threat to operation and control of power system is insecurity. Therefore, the contingency analysis is a key for the power system security. The contingency ranking using the performance index is a method for the line outages in a power system, which ranks the highest performance index line first and proceeds in a descending manner based on the calculated PI for all the line outages. This helps to take the prior action to keep the system secure. In this paper Fast Decoupled power flow method is used for the power system contingency ranking for the line outage based on the Active power and Voltage performance index. The ranking is given by considering the overall performance index, which is the summation of Active power and voltage performance index. The proposed method is implemented on a IEEE-14 bus system.

Transient Stability Assessment and Enhancement in Power SystemIJMER
Power system is subjected to sudden changes in load levels. Stability is an important concept
which determines the stable operation of power system. For the improvement of transient stability the
general methods adopted are fast acting exciters, circuit breakers and reduction in system transfer
reactance. The modern trend is to employ FACTS devices in the existing system for effective utilization
of existing transmission resources. The critical clearing time is a measure to assess transient instability.
Using PSAT, the critical clearing time (CCT) corresponding to various faults are calculated. The most
critical faults were identified using this calculation. The CCT for the critical faults were found to change
with change in operating point. The CCT values are predicted using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to
study the training effects of ANN. TCSC is selected as the FACTS device for transient stability
enhancement. Particle Swarm Optimization method is used to find the optimal position of TCSC using
the objective function real power loss minimization. The result shows that the technique effectively
increases the transient stability of the system
Electrical Technology was founded on the remarkable discovery by Faraday that a changing magnetic flux creates an electric field. Out of that discovery, grew the largest and most complex engineering achievement of man : the electric power system. Indeed, life without electricity is now unimaginable. Electric power systems form the basic infrastructure of a country. Even as we read this, electrical energy is being produced at rates in excess of hundreds of giga-watts (1 GW = 1,000,000,000 W). Giant rotors spinning at speeds up to 3000 rotations per minute bring us the energy stored in the potential energy of water, or in fossil fuels. Yet we notice electricity only when the lights go out!
While the basic features of the electrical power system have remained practically unchanged in the past century, but there are some significant milestones in the evolution of electrical power systems.

The complexity and dynamics of the modern power system are continuously changing due to the penetration of a large number of renewable energy sources and changing load patterns. These growing complexities have caused numerous outages around the world, primarily due to the lack of situational awareness about the grid operating states. Rectification of this problem requires advanced sensing technology to accurately capture the dynamics of the system for better monitoring and control. Measurement of synchrophasors is a potential solution to improve situational awareness in the grid. The synchrophasors technology is now widely accepted throughout the world and has the potential to replace the existing SCADA system in monitoring and control of the power system. Their installation enables efficient resolution to substantially improve transmission system planning, maintenance, operation, and energy trading. This paper reviews the state of the art potential applications that the PMU based WAMC offers to the power system. It also includes technical perspectives, challenges, and future possibilities.

It seeks to increase and guarantee the fact and accuracy of response systems under disturbance conditions when the phase measurement units are introduced as Real-Time Measurement (RTM) stations. This paper also describes the importance of FACTS devices. The combination of FACTS devices and PMUs is presented to increase the controllability performance of power systems. This paper demonstrates how PMUs measure voltage, current and their angles. It provides, through a communication link, a Phase Angle Data Concentrator (PDC) to make an appropriate decision to correct the power system state using the FACTS device (TCSC).

The MATLAB/PSAT package was utilized for the simulation of results. It is evident that our proposed algorithm and technique achieved the purpose of this paper as confirmed by the level of accuracy of the results obtained from most of the cases tested.
Study on the performance indicators for smart grids: a comprehensive reviewTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This paper presents a detailed review on performance indicators for smart grid (SG) such as voltage stability enhancement, reliability evaluation, vulnerability assessment, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and communication systems. Smart grids reliability assessment can be performed by analytically or by simulation. Analytical method utilizes the load point assessment techniques, whereas the simulation technique uses the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) technique. The reliability index evaluations will consider the presence or absence of energy storage elements using the simulation technologies such as MCS, and the analytical methods such as systems average interruption frequency index (SAIFI), and other load point indices. This paper also presents the difference between SCADA and substation automation, and the fact that substation automation, though it uses the basic concepts of SCADA, is far more advanced in nature.

Convergence Problems Of Contingency Analysis In Electrical Power Transmission...CSCJournals
Contingency analysis is a tool used by power system engineers for planning and assessing
power system reliability. The conventional analytical method which is mathematical model based,
is not only tedious and time consuming in view of the large number of components in the network
but always left some critical components unassessed due to non-convergence of the power flow
analysis of such, hence the contingency analysis of such system could not be said to be
completed.
In this work, contingency analysis of line components of a standard IEEE-30 Bus and real 330-kV
Nigerian Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) network (28Bus) systems were investigated
using Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBF-NN) which is artificial intelligence based.
The contingency analysis was carried out by solving the non-linear algebraic equations of steady
state model for the standard IEEE-30 Bus and TCN-28 Bus power networks using NewtonRaphson
(N-R) power flow method. RBF-NN method was used for the computation of Reactive
and Active performance indices (PIR and PIA ) which were ranked in order to reveal the criticality
of each line outage. Simulation was carried out using MATLAB R2013a version. The nonconverged
lines in both systems were reinforced and re-analysed. The results of contingency
analyses of the reinforced systems show more robust systems with complete line ranking.
Predicting Post Outage Transmission Line Flows using Linear Distribution FactorsDr. Amarjeet Singh
In order to design and implement preventive
and remedial actions, a continuous performance of fast
security analysis is imperative amid outages of system
components. Following the contingency of a system
component, State estimation and Load flow techniques
are the two popular techniques used to determine
system state variables leading to estimation of flows,
losses and violations in nodal voltages and transmission
line flows. But the dynamic state and complexity of the
system requires faster means of estimations which can
be achieved by linear distribution factors. The use of
Distribution factors in form of Power Transfer
Distribution Factors (PTDF) and Line Outage
Distribution Factors (LODF) which are transmission
line sensitivities with respect to active power exchanges
between buses and transmission line outages offer an
alternative to these two techniques being linear,
quicker, and non-iterative. Following the estimation of
the linear distribution factors from a reference
operating point (base case) and contingency cases
involving line outage, generator output variation and
outage of a Six bus network using Matlab programs,
the results show that by means of Linear Distribution
factors quick estimates of post outage line flows can be
made which match flow results obtained from DC load
flow analysis.

Reliability Impacts of Behind the Meter Distributed Energy Resources on Trans...Power System Operation
The increasing amounts of customer-owned Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) limit the control and visibility of local Independent System Operators (ISOs) and utility operators. Most of these resources are non-curtailable and subject to several aggregation guidelines for wholesale participation. These units cannot be decoupled from the Transmission-Distribution (T-D) interface and have a direct impact on the economics and reliability of the grid. This paper reports the results of a study that investigated realistic dispatch conditions from a production and power flow co-simulation environment with increased behind-the-meter DER resources. The objectives of this study include: 1) understanding steady-state and transient voltage response of the system at the local T-D interface, 2) analyzing impacts on switching operations, 3) studying the system-wide frequency response of the Western Interconnection, and 4) examining scenarios that provide insight into the type of control strategies that best benefit local ISO and utility operations from a reliability perspective.

Cluster Computing Environment for On - line Static Security Assessment of lar...IDES Editor
The increased size of modern power systems
demand faster and accurate means for the security assessment,
so that the decisions for reliable and secure operation planning
could be drawn in a systematic manner. Large computational
overhead is the major impediment in preventing the power
system security assessment (PSSA) from on-line use. To
mitigate this problem, this paper proposes, a cluster computing
based architecture for power system static security assessment,
utilizing the tools in the open source domain. A variant of the
master/slave pattern is used for deploying the cluster of
workstations (COW), which act as the computational engine
for the on-line PSSA. The security assessment is performed
utilizing the developed composite security index that can
accurately differentiate the secure and non-secure cases and
has been defined as a function of bus voltage and line flow
limit violations. Due to the inherent parallel structure of
security assessment algorithm and to exploit the potential of
distributed computing, domain decomposition is employed for
parallelizing the sequential algorithm. Extensive
experimentations were carried out on IEEE 57 bus and IEEE
145-bus 50 machine standard test systems for demonstrating
the validity of the proposed architecture.

ENHANCEMENT OF POWER SYSTEM SECURITY USING PSO-NR OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUEIAEME Publication
Maintaining power system security is one of the challenging tasks for the power system engineers. The security assessment is an essential task as it gives the knowledge about the system state in the event of a contingency. Contingency analysis technique is being widely used to predict the effect of outages like failures of equipment, transmission line etc., and to take necessary actions to keep the power system secure and reliable. The off line analysis to predict the effect of individual contingency is a tedious task as a power system contains large number of components. Practically, only selected contingencies will lead to severe conditions in power system.
On-line Power System Static Security Assessment in a Distributed Computing Fr...idescitation
The computation overhead is of major concern when
going for increased accuracy in online power system security
assessment (OPSSA). This paper proposes a scalable solution
technique based on distributed computing architecture to
mitigate the problem. A variant of the master/slave pattern is
used for deploying the cluster of workstations (COW), which
act as the computational engine for the OPSSA. Owing to the
inherent parallel structure in security analysis algorithm, to
exploit the potential of distributed computing, domain
decomposition is adopted instead of functional decomposition.
The security assessment is performed utilizing the developed
composite security index that can accurately differentiate the
secure and non-secure cases and has been defined as a function
of bus voltage and line flow limit violations. Validity of
proposed architecture is demonstrated by the results obtained
from an intensive experimentation using the benchmark IEEE
57 bus test system. The proposed framework, which is scalable,
can be further extended to intelligent monitoring and control
of power system
A new linear quadratic regulator model to mitigate frequency disturbances in...IJECEIAES
This paper proposes a new model integrating a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller to mitigate frequency disturbances in the power system during cyber-attack, called as linear quadratic regulator to mitigate frequency disturbances (LQRMFD). As we know, most of the existing models have a common problem with achieving significant performances in mitigating dynamic response parameters, such as frequency deviation and settling time. However, the key aspect of LQRMFD is to mitigate the above issues with remarkable performance improvements. An uncommon and stable power system model has been considered in LQRMFD first to reach such a goal. A numerical problem has been solved to derive a certain characteristic equation, where the Routh-Hurwitz array criterion is applied for determining the stability of such a power system. After that, a state-space equation is developed from the power system to activate the LQR controller. Thus, achieving diversity and eliminating the redundancy of the power system considered can be obtained in LQRMFD. To evaluate the performance of LQRMFD, a series of experiments was conducted using the MATLABSimulink tool. Rigorous comparisons were also made among the results of LQRMFD, self-implemented and existing models. Furthermore, a detailed analysis was reported among those models to find the performance improvement of LQRMFD in percentage.

The IC engine has seen numerous revolutionary and e volutionary modifications in technology and design over the past few decades. The sole motto behind the modifications wa s to increase the overall efficiency of the IC Engi ne including volumetric and thermal efficiency. Recently few benchmarking techn ologies like the CRDI,MPFI,HCCI,etc. in the Otto cycle and Diesel cycle engines have created an enormous revolution in the automobile industry. In spite of these technologica l and design advances,the efficiencies are not being more than a particular l imit. However,the concept of split cycle engines has dra stically increased the overall performance in all respect. The split cycle concept basically separates the fou r strokes of the conventional cycle. The Scuderi engine one of the best-in-class engine desi gns based on the split cycle concept. The Scuderi engine works on the split cycle and gives higher efficiency than the previous split cycle engines resulting overall high perform ance. It also eliminates the problems faced by previous engines based on the spl it cycle in terms of breathing (volumetric efficien cy) and thermal efficiency. This paper throws light on the greater volumetric,thermal and overall efficiency key points related t o the Scuderi Engines.

STUDY OF SOLAR THERMAL CAVITY RECEIVER FOR PARABOLIC CONCENTRATING COLLECTOR ijiert bestjournal
Energy is one of the building blocks of the country . The growth of the country has been fueled by chea p,abundant energy resources. Solar energy is a form of renewable ener gy which is available abundantly and collected unre servedly. The parabolic concentrator reflects the direct incident solar rad iation onto a receiver mounted above the dish at it s focal point. The conversion of concentrated solar radiation to heat takes place in receiver. The heat transfer characteristics of the receiver changes during the rotation of the receiver which affects thermal performance. The working temperature may also influence the ther mal performance and overall efficiency of the system. Thermal as well as optica l losses affect the performance of a solar paraboli c dish-cavity receiver system. The thermal losses of a solar cavity receiver include c onvective and radiative losses to the air in the ca vity and conductive heat loss through the insulation used behind the helical tube surface. Convective and radiative heat losses form the major constituents of the thermal losses. The convection heat loss from cavit y receiver in parabolic dish solar thermal power sy stem can significantly reduce the efficiency and consequently the cost effectiveness of the system. It is important to assess this heat loss and subsequently improve the thermal performance of the receiver.

HEAT TRANSFER ENHANCEMENT BY USING NANOFLUID JET IMPINGEMENTijiert bestjournal
An experimental investigation was carried out for s tudying the heat transfer performance of the water-Al2O3 (28nm average particle size) nanofluid inside a liquid evacuated impinging jet system dest ined to the cooling of circular target surface. Results have shown that th e surface heat transfer coefficient increases consi derably when the mass flow rate is increased,but is relatively insensitive to the nozzle-to heated-surface distance. It was foun d that the use of a nanofluid can provide a heat transfer enhancement when compared t o water. Thus most practical applications of jet im pingement occur in industries where the heat transfer requirements hav e exceeded capacity of ordinary heating and cooling techniques. This work presents and discusses the results of an experiment al investigation of heat transfer between the horiz ontal smooth plate of impinged jets.

introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10

Abstract : Contingency plans based on N-1 and N-2 contingencies are already very much used
by utilities. Artificial intelligent methods are new trends for analysing the contingency scenario
along with state of art congestion management. This gives extra backup and boost to reliable
operation under contingent scenario of power system. This paper envisages the summary of all
those efforts. This paper will help utilities to put more thinking in terms of recent developments
in fast and intelligent computing methods. The paper highlights classical research and modern
trends in contingency analysis such as hybrid artificial intelligent methods. Steady state
stability assessment of a power system pursues a twofold objective: first to appraise the
system's capability to withstand major contingencies, and second to suggest remedial actions,
i.e. means to enhance this capability, whenever needed. The first objective is the concern of
analysis, the second is a matter of control.
Keywords: Contingency Analysis (CA), Artificial Neural Network (ANN).
Introduction
Contingency is the loss or failure of one or more components in the power system.
Contingency can also be defined as a specified set of events occurring within a short duration
of time [1]. Contingency in a system may be none, severe or critical. None: The system restores
itself to pre-disturbed state after a contingency. Severe: The system element gets overloaded
and collapses if the corrective action is not performed before the system moves towards
instability. The system becomes unstable and collapses immediately. Contingencies such as
unexpected line outage soften contribute to voltage collapse blackout [2]. Hence contingency
assessment is necessary to check out the severity of the line .By contingency ranking the
system operator can be cautioned about the vulnerable lines present in the system and he can
preset the corrective measures in case of outage of that line. Contingency analysis is the
simulation analysis that employs various contingencies associated with probable events, to
come up with the most optimal responses under the circumstances. The objective of steady
state contingency analysis is to investigate the effects of generation and transmission unit
outages on MVA line flows and bus voltage magnitudes .Contingencies are ranked in an

approximate order of a scalar performance index (PI) [3]. The PI should have essentially two
aspects of functions:
1. Distinction of actual critical outages from non-critical ones,
2. Prediction of the relative severity of critical outages [4].
Electric utilities in today’s market are facing many challenges and sometimes conflicting
requirements. The task of maintaining reliability has been greatly complicated by the
introduction of wholesale electricity markets. All players now depend on the reliability of the
power grid, and all are at risk if the grid is not reliably operated. On the one hand, the planning
and operation reliability criterion is still N − 1 (the system must be able to withstand any single
contingency event) and on the other economic forces put pressure for providing higher
standards of reliability.
Security constrained optimization applications at the current stage ensure that voltage
magnitude and other state and control variables are under their operating limits after the first
contingency.
It has been found that traditional N − 1 reliability criteria for transmission and operation
planning is inadequate in new (deregulated) competitive energy markets. Not just engineering
(planning and operation) reliability criteria should be revisited in order to go beyond N −
1butalso the economic implications of such criteria must be assessed accordingly. Following
are areas coming up as modern challenge for contingency from application point of view.
Role of Visualization in Contingency Analysis
With the global trend toward deregulation in the power system industry, the volume and the
complexity of the CA results in the daily operation and system studies have been increasing.
Not only has deregulation resulted in much large system model sizes, but also CA is computed
more frequently in the restructured power markets to monitor the states of the system under
what if situations in order to accommodate the maximum number of power transfers. The net
impact of these changes is a need for more effective and efficient visualizations for CA results
to help with the comprehension of the essential security information, information which could
be buried in the enormous and complex CA data sets. The traditional display for CA results in
an EMS is often a tabular list showing the violated buses and transmission elements, along with
the corresponding contingency name, element value, limit and perhaps the percentage
violation. However, when the number of elements in the list becomes excessive it can be
difficult to build a mental connection between the violated elements and the contingencies
causing the violations, or to understand the underlying problems in the system.
The 2-D visualizations based on one-line diagrams have been relatively popular due to the
familiarity of power operator’s with one-line diagrams and the importance of geographic
information in power system operation and control. Example scheme include encoding the
width [5]–[8], color [6]–[8] and arrow size[6] of transmission lines according to line
performance indices(PIs) or post contingency loadings, augmenting the one-lines with the
thermometers [4], [5] showing bus PIs and the pie charts [12] for contingent voltage angles .In
contrast to the one-line diagram based visualizations, the presentation of contingency data in a
2-D matrix [7]–[10] or bar charts [11] gives a clear overview of the system severity status ,but
at the expense of the loss of geographic information. Other2-D visualizations not based on the
geographical network can be found in [12] where high-level security risk levels were displayed
by rectangular and oval meters and 2-D iso-risk curves displayed security level as a function of
operating conditions. In addition to the 2-D visualization techniques listed, 3-Dvisualization
without geographic background has been applied into power system CA results. In [7], a third

dimension was added to represent time, allowing the display to show the time variation in
contingency severity. Similarly, in [13] a 3-D manifold was used to display the percentage
overload of the monitored transmission lines under each contingency by scaling the z axis in
terms of percentage overload, assigning each point on the y axis a contingency, and each point
on the x axis a monitored line.
This literature review indicates that power system CA visualization is still in its infantry, with a
pressing need for better techniques. This work first discusses possible 2-D visualization
techniques for CA data and their drawbacks, and then presents a geographic 3-D approach.
Smart Grid Contingency
In future smart grids, with distribution networks having loops more frequently, current
transmission contingency analysis (TCA) which usually neglects the distribution power flow
variations after a contingency may leave out severe outages [14]. With more distribution
management systems deployed on the distribution side, a new transmission CA method based
on global power flow (GPF) analysis which integrates both the transmission and
distribution power flow is proposed in this work (named as GTCA) to address the problem.
The definition and new features of GTCA are first introduced. Then, the necessity of GTCA is
physically illustrated. Difference in the results of GTCA and TCA is mathematically analyzed.
A GPF-embedded algorithm of performing GTCA is then provided. The data exchange process
and the performance with communication interruptions are discussed. As
multiple contingencies are considered in GTCA, several approaches are proposed and
discussed to reduce communication burdens and improve the computational efficiency. Plenty
of numerical tests are performed in several systems to verify the theoretical analysis. With
theoretical analysis and numerical verification, it is suggested that GTCA should be performed
instead of TCA to avoid potential false alarms, especially in the condition that DNs are more
frequently looped in the future smart grids.
Contingency Analysis and Identification of Dynamic Voltage Control Areas
Contingency analysis has been an integral part of power system planning and operations.
Dynamic contingency analysis is often performed with offline simulation studies, due to its
intense computational effort. Due to a large number of possible system variations, covering all
combinations in planning studies is very challenging [15]. Contingencies must be chosen
carefully to cover a wider group of possibilities, while ensuring system security. This work
proposes a method to classify dynamic contingencies into different clusters, according to their
behavioural patterns, in particular, with respect to voltage recovery patterns. The most
severe contingency from each cluster becomes the representative of other contingencies in the
corresponding cluster. Using the information of contingency clusters, a new concept called
dynamic voltage control area (DVCA) is derived. The concept of DVCA will address the
importance of the location of dynamic reactive reserves. Simulations have been completed on
the modified IEEE 162-bus system to test and validate the proposed method.
Contingency-Risk
We consider the problem of designing (or augmenting) an electric power system at a minimum
cost such that it satisfies the N-k-ε survivability criterion [16]. This survivability criterion is a
generalization of the well-known N-k criterion, and it requires that at least (1-εj) fraction of the
steady-state demand be met after failures of j components, for j=0,1,...,k. The network design

problem adds another level of complexity to the notoriously hard
contingency analysis problem, since the contingency analysis is only one of the requirements
for the design optimization problem. We present a mixed-integer programming formulation of
this problem that takes into account both transmission and generation expansion. We propose
an algorithm that can avoid combinatorial explosion in the number of contingencies, by
seeking vulnerabilities in intermediary solutions and constraining the design space accordingly.
Our approach is built on our ability to identify such system vulnerabilities quickly. Our
empirical studies on modified instances of the IEEE 30-bus and IEEE 57-bus systems show the
effectiveness of our methods. We were able to solve the transmission and generation expansion
problems for k=4 in approximately 30 min, while other approaches failed to provide a solution
at the end of 2 h.
Computation of Worst Operation Scenarios Under Uncertainty for Static Security
Management
This work deals with day-ahead static security assessment with respect to a postulated set
of contingencies while taking into account uncertainties about the next day system conditions
[17]. We propose a heuristic approach to compute the worst-case under operation uncertainty
for a contingency with respect to overloads. We formulate this problem as a non-convex
nonlinear bi level program that we solve approximately by a heuristic approach which relies on
the solution of successive optimal power flow (OPF) and security-constrained
optimal power flow (SCOPF) problems of a special type. The method aims at revealing those
combinations of uncertainties and contingencies for which the best combination of preventive
and corrective actions would not suffice to ensure security. Extensive numerical results on a
small, a medium, and a very large system prove the interest of the approach.
ANN Efforts in Contingency Analysis
Fast and accurate contingency selection and ranking method has become a key issue to ensure
the secure operation of power systems. In this work multi-layer feed forward artificial neural
network (MLFFN) and radial basis function network (RBFN) are proposed to implement the
online module for power system static security assessment [18]. The security
classification, contingency selection and ranking are done based on the composite security
index which is capable of accurately differentiating the secure and non-secure cases. For
each contingency case as well as for base case condition, the composite security index is
computed using the full Newton Raphson load flow analysis. The proposed artificial neural
network (ANN) models take loading condition and the probable contingencies as the input and
assess the system security by screening the credible contingencies and ranking them in the
order of severity based on composite security index. The numerical results of applying the
proposed approach to IEEE 118-bus test system demonstrate its effectiveness for
online power system static security assessment. The comparison of the ANN models with the
model based on Newton Raphson load flow analysis in terms of accuracy and computational
speed indicate that the proposed model is effective and reliable in the fast evaluation of the
security level of power systems. The proposed online static security assessment (OSSA)
module realized using the ANN models are found to be suited for online application.

the sum of investment costs (IC), expected operation costs (EOC) and reactive load shedding
costs optimizing the sizes and locations of new reactive compensation equipment to

generation and reduction methodology is used for modelling uncertainty. Expected benefits are

and the value of the stochastic solution (VSS) methodologies. The efficacy of the proposed
model is tested and justified by the simulation results using the Ward-Hale 6-bus and the IEEE
14-bus systems.
Optimisation in Contingency Analysis
In power system operation, transmission congestion can drastically limit more economical
generation units from being dispatched. In this work, optimal transmission switching as a
congestion management tool is utilized to change network topology which, in turn, would lead
to higher electricity market efficiency [20]. Transmission switching (TS) is formulated as an
optimization problem to determine the most influential lines as candidates for disconnection. In
order to relieve congestion without violating voltage security, TS is embedded in an
optimal power flow (OPF) problem with AC constraints and binary variables, i.e., a mixed-
integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem, solved using Benders decomposition. Also,
a methodology is presented which provides a guideline to the system operator showing the
order of switching manoeuvres that have to be followed in order to relieve congestion. It is also
shown that TS based on DC optimal power flow (DCOPF) formulation as used in the literature
may jeopardize system security and in some cases result in voltage collapse due to the
shortcomings in its simplified models. In order to evaluate the applicability and effectiveness
of the proposed method, the IEEE 57-bus and IEEE 300-bus test systems are used.
Risk and N-1 Criteria Coordination for Real-Time Operations
This letter describes a new perspective on coordinating system N-1 criteria and risk for real-
time operations, where risk is modelled to capture the system's overall security level [21]. A
risk-based security-constrained optimal power flow (RB-SCOPF), considering N-1 criteria and
risk together, is compared with the traditional SCOPF. The IEEE 30-bussystem is tested to
illustrate the coordination between risk and N-1 criteria in RB-SCOPF.
Two-stage robust optimization for N-k contingency-constrained unit commitment
This work proposes a two-stage robust optimization approach to solve the N- k contingency-
constrained unit commitment (CCUC) problem [22]. In our approach, both generator and
transmission line contingencies are considered. Compared to the traditional approach using a
given set of components as candidates for possible failures, our approach considers all possible
component failure scenarios. We consider the objectives of minimizing the total generation
cost under the worst-case contingency scenario and/or the total pre-contingency cost. We
formulate CCUC as a two-stage robust optimization problem and develop a decomposition
framework to enable tractable computation. In our framework, the master problem makes unit
commitment decisions and the sub-problem discovers the worst-case contingency scenarios. By
using linearization techniques and duality theory, we transform the sub problem into a mixed-
integer linear program (MILP). The most violated inequalities generated from the sub problem
are fed back into the master problem during each iteration. Our approach guarantees a globally
optimal solution in a finite number of iterations. In reported computational experiments, we test
both primal and dual decomposition approaches. Our computational results verify the
effectiveness of our proposed approach.

A Progressive Contingency Incorporation Approach for Stochastic Optimization
Problems
Reliability is a key objective in many optimal design problems. Very often this criterion is
incorporated into stochastic optimization problems by introducing contingency evaluation
scenarios [23]. These results in a special problem structure where the stochastic scenarios used
to describe reliability are linked to the failure of specific individual elements. This work
presents a progressive contingency incorporation (PCI) approach that takes advantage of this
structure to increase efficiency. The algorithm is applied to the design of an offshore wind
farm, where the electrical layout is decided, as representative of the possible advantages of PCI
within power systems. The problem must determine the placement and type of cables in a
collector system. Results show that time savings achieved by the PCI approach can be
remarkable, reaching two orders of magnitude for the case study.
Automated Handling of Arbitrary Switching Device Topologies in
planning Contingency Analysis: Towards Temporal Interoperability in Network Security
Assessment
Existing power system planning software is not capable of simulating large numbers
of contingencies that involve bus mergers and bus splits without cumbersome modifications to
planning models either manually or through scripting [24]. This means that some of the events
that can occur in a bulk power system are not studied in detail prior to real-time operation. This
work proposes the use of a unified network applications framework for
planning contingency analysis capable of incorporating contingencies that involve arbitrary
configurations of switching devices. The method handles any type of bus split or bus merger
events automatically without requiring case conversion or modification. This drastically
simplifies the tabulation of results of complex contingencies and makes potential
unsecure system conditions visible during the planning stage. The efficiency of the algorithm is
demonstrated in large-scale ISO models that incorporate full-topology switching modelling,
and it is shown to be at least ten times faster than scripting. The proposed method hence
supports direct comparison of planning and real-time grid security assessment evaluation,
providing full temporal interoperability between offline contingency analysis and real-time
security assessment.
Wide-Area Optimal Control of Electric Power Systems With Application to Transient
Stability for Higher Order Contingencies
A real-time stabilizing control method for responding to N-K contingencies, with large K, is
developed utilizing network and machine time-synchronized measurements [25]. The controls
follow an optimality principle in driving rotor-angles to an acceptable equilibrium point, at
minimum cost, by predicting state response trajectory to a collection of stepped structural
changes, from an admissible set, according to a defined model. A cost metric suitable for
mitigating rotor-angle instability is developed. Non-idealities in modelling, measurement
latency, control availability, and actuation success are investigated. It is shown how control
over system structure in a feedback formulation increases the capability to handle higher
order contingencies. As an experimental example, a set of simultaneous N-3 transient stability
related contingencies are stabilized for the IEEE 39-bus system. Furthermore, the response
after control actuation failure is investigated and it is shown that the system remains driven to a
valid stable equilibrium point.

Transient stability constrained optimal power flow (TSCOPF) is an important and difficult
problem. When multiple contingencies are considered, a reliable contingency filtering
technique should be used to reduce the scale of TSCOPF problem [26]. This study brings in the
concepts of active contingency and critical contingency, and develops a novel
contingency filtering strategy. Based on time-domain numerical simulations, the
proposed contingency filtering strategy first screens all the considered contingencies and
identifies active contingencies whose severe indices violate the pre-defined threshold of
transient stability, then further finds out the critical contingencies in which some generators are
most severely disturbed according to the severe indices trajectories. The severe indices can be
such as maximal relative rotor angles, maximal transient generator voltage dips and so on.
Taking only the critical contingencies into account, the scale of TSCOPF problem is reduced
significantly. Interior point method is used to solve the reduced TSCOPF problem. Numerical
results on several cases indicate that the proposed contingency filtering technique is reliable
and efficient. Compared with the conventional TSCOPF approach, which involves all the
contingencies, the proposed contingency filtering strategy possesses overwhelming advantages
in CPU time and memory consumption, and is hopeful to solve TSCOPF problems with
many contingencies.
Multiple Element Contingency Screening
This work presents a method for determining the double outage contingencies that threaten
the system without solving the full contingency set [27]. Two methods
for contingency screening with complementary properties are presented. The results of the
algorithms are compared to the full double outage contingency analysis results for a large
North American case. The results show that the screening algorithms are able to detect nearly
all of the contingencies that will result in violations, while requiring only a small fraction of
the contingencies to be solved.
Assessing the Vulnerability of a Power System through a Multiple
Objective Contingency Screening Approach
This work introduces a new, alternative approach for the analysis of
power systems vulnerability based on a hybrid model that combines elements of the classical
Deterministic Network Interdiction Problem (DNIP) with the use of an efficient multi-objective
optimization evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) [28]. From a power systems perspective, the
traditional DNIP is implemented as a surrogate approach to understand the interaction between
the power system's component incapacitation (due to random failures or external attacks), and
the system load shedding. The work recognizes that, when analyzing power system
vulnerability, it is possible to have multiple competing objectives and multiple prospective
solutions that may change based on the preference of the decision-maker. This multi-objective
view of the DNIP in the power systems context is solved using MOEA. As a result, the
proposed approach could be used as an initial, straightforward screening approach to identify
severe system disturbances. Several examples illustrate that the approach is able to reproduce
and improve upon the results presented in previous studies.
Congestion Management

devices for market-based power systems considering congestion relief and voltage
stability[29]. The purpose of the FACTS devices installation is to provide benefit for all entities

accomplished by both minimizing annual device investment cost and maximizing annual
benefit defined as difference between expected security cost (ESC) with and without FACTS
devices installation. Different from previous approaches, the proposed method accurately
evaluates the annual cost and benefits obtainable by FACTS devices installation by formulating
a large-scale optimization problem that contains power flow analyses for a large number
of system states representing annual power system operations. In addition, dynamic state
transitions caused by specified contingencies are also simulated in the optimization problem to
evaluate the effect of FACTS control actions as well as the other coordinated controls. The
expected cost consists of operating cost under normal and contingency states along with their
related probabilities to occur. Maximizing social welfare is the objective for normal state while
minimizing compensations for generations re-scheduling and load shedding as well as
maximizing social welfare are the objectives in case of contingency. Although installation cost
of FACTS devices is required, they are useful as cost free means, which can reduce effectively
the annual costs for generations re-scheduling and load shedding.
Super component Contingency Modelling for Security Assessment in Power Systems
The utilization of the power systems to its maximum capacity is a condition that produces
economic benefits to all agents involved in the chain of energy supply and thus to society [30].
However, under these conditions, operators can take risks that could cause the loss of system
stability and, in the worst case, blackouts. Thus, operators require analysis tools that give them
information in order to take preventive and corrective actions, to operate the system in a
reliable way and to check the behaviour of the same. Generally, in this type of analysis, simple
component's contingencies are used. However, the practice has shown that more than one
component (generation unit, circuit line, single transformer, among others) of the system can
fail, either by simultaneous outages, events in cascade or by a major outage that means a
complete installation with several components gets out of service. So, a super component refers
to complex electrical facilities as: substations, generation plants and multiple circuit
transmission lines. An outage of the super component implies the multiple and simultaneous
outages of many elements. These kinds of events are not, generally, considered in the
mentioned analyses; however, it would be very important to keep them in mind in the security
evaluation of power systems. This work presents a methodology to evaluate the severity of this
kind of contingencies in the operative planning scenario. The super components that are taken
into account are the multiple circuit lines (in the same structure), generation plants and
substations. The impact of contingency on power system security is evaluated in a 24-hour day-
ahead planning horizon through the computation of the energy not supplied, the number of
overloaded lines and the percentage of load loss The Energy not supplied is computed as
function of a load shedding based on operator's rules.
Two-Stage Stochastic Programming Model for Market Clearing With Contingencies
Planning for contingencies typically results in the use of more expensive facilities before
disruptions. It leads to different prices and energy availability at various network locations
depending on how the contingency analysis is performed [31]. In this work we present a two-
stage stochastic programming model for incorporating contingencies. The model is
computationally demanding, and made tractable by using an interior-point log-barrier method
coupled with Benders decomposition. The second-stage optimal recourse function (RF) defines
the most economically efficient actions in the post-contingency state for returning
the system back to normal operating conditions. The approach is illustrated with for two
examples: small (with 8 buses/11 branches) and IEEE medium-scale (with 300 buses/411
branches).

DC Power Flow Revisited
Linear MW-only network power flow models are in widespread and even increasing use,
particularly in congestion-constrained market applications [32]. Many versions of these
approximate models are possible. When their MW flows are reasonably correct (and this is by
no means assured), they can often offer compelling advantages. Given their considerable
importance in today's electric power industry, dc models merit closer scrutiny. This work
attempts such a re-examination.
Severe Multiple Contingency Screening in Electric Power Systems
We propose a computationally efficient approach to detect severe multiple contingencies. We
pose a contingency analysis problem using a nonlinear optimization framework, which enables
us to detect the fewest possible transmission line outages resulting in a system failure of
specified severity, and to identify the most severe system failure caused by removing a
specified number of transmission lines from service [33]. Illustrations using a three-
bus system and the IEEE 30-bus system aim to exhibit the effectiveness of the proposed
approach.
CONCLUSION
So far though several works have proposed many techniques for contingency assessment,
classical, intelligent and modern. All such efforts focus on improving the steady state
performance of the system under the scenario of power snap due to line outages. Time frame of
such events in India is fifteen minutes. During transition of power system from one state to
other, various interpretation of same line outage situation usually causes confusion in
assessment by experts. All the expert knowledge if included in fuzzy set theory with ANN
backup will improve the decision making easy and technically viable. This paper gives a
direction to researchers and utilities to follow technical intelligent gateway to various credible
contingency scenarios on real time base. Several researchers are active in this area and their
efforts are integrated in the paper and hence it will act as a good reference for the concerned
investigation and development effort. This approach is suited for all the systems.
