Modelling Power Disruption Scenarios and Assessing Resilience of a Power System
European Commission, Joint Research Centre (JRC), Ispra, Italy.
ABSTRACT
The paper addresses resilience assessment of a power system due to disruption of interconnecting power lines. The power system analysed is based on an anonymized EU region well interconnected with other Member States. We analyse several disruption scenarios and rank them by introducing a resilience index. The selected disruptions are modelled using the - open source - PyPSA-Eur software tool. The study aims to quantify and rank importance of interconnecting supply routes to the security of power supply in the analysed region.
