Special Session Eight

Session Title: Survivability Improvement Technologies of Power System for Unconventional Extreme Scenarios


As one of the most important infrastructures, the safe and stable operation of power system directly influences social and economic development. However, the safety and stability of power system are confronted with numerous challenges, in which unconventional extreme events, such as destructive strikes, electromagnetic attacks, cyber attacks, etc, would pose great threat to the survivability of power system. But, this kind of threat has not received enough attention. Furthermore, the community still lacks sufficient research to improve the survivability of power system under unconventional extreme scenarios. To this end, this Special session focuses on the topic of the survivability improvement technologies of power system for unconventional extreme scenarios

    Topics of interest including, but not limited to:
  • 1) Quantitative evaluation methods for power system survivability against unconventional extreme scenarios
  • 2) Modeling strategies of power system damage morphology evolution against unconventional extreme scenarios
  • 3) Survivability improvement strategies of power system against unconventional extreme scenarios
  • 4) Emergency support strategies of power system against unconventional extreme scenarios
  • 5) Self-healing control and fast recovery strategies of power system after unconventional extreme events.
