Sequential Outage Checkers for Analyzing Cascading Outages and Preventing Large Blackouts

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper presents the use of sequential outage checkers to identify the potential cascading processes that might lead to large blackouts. In order to analyze cascading outages caused by a combination of thermal overloads, low voltages, and under-frequencies following an initial disturbance, sequential outage checkers are proposed. The proposed sequential outage checkers are verified using the AEP 9-bus system, New England 39-bus system, and IEEE 118-bus system.
