Summary:
This paper addresses the vulnerability analysis of the electric grid under terrorist threat. This problem is formulated as a mixed-integer non-linear bilevel program. In the upper-level optimization, the terrorist agent maximizes the damage caused in the power system, which is measured in terms of the level of system load shed. On the other hand, in the lower-level optimization, the system operator minimizes the damage by means of an optimal operation of the power system. The distinctive modeling feature introduced in this paper is that, among the different corrective actions available, the system operator has the capability to modify the network topology.
Keywords: Benders decomposition, bilevel programming, deliberate outages, line switching, load shedding, vulnerability
