Abstract

Electric power system is a fundamental infrastructure of modern society. A magnicent property of electric power system { security, is achieved by keeping it operated in a secure state at most of the time. Security means the ability to withstand imminent disturbances or contingencies, such as electric short circuits or unanticipated loss of system elements, without interruption of customer service. This thesis proposes methods to secure power system operation from classifying threat origins to power system security, analyzing power system steady-state security, splitting power system network intentionally to increase power system transient stability. Maintaining electric power system secure is a very challenging interdisciplinary multidimensional problem, which is impacted by a large amount of factors, such as extreme weather conditions and unexpected disturbances. In order to achieve keeping the system secure, pursuing a better understanding of all kinds of origins of threats to electric power system is meaningful. Identifying and classifying potential threats to electric power system help to design corresponding measures to tackle them. Moreover, due to impossibility of considering countless threats with nite resource, quantifying and ranking the risks of threats contribute to level up eciency and eectiveness. When power system in a normal, alert, or emergency state, steady-state security analysis, as a branch of power system security analysis, is an eective tool to provide information for operators to design control to mitigate power system progressing into a extremis state. Conventionally, most analysis methods for steady-state security are "point-wised", which means that they considering operational points by checking all components' electrical quantities.
