Island power systems (IPSs) are different from large interconnected systems because they are smaller in size and they are usually not interconnected to other systems. The lack of technical and economic support from neighboring systems makes IPSs more vulnerable to disturbances and causes higher system operating costs than interconnected systems. In addition to the small size, the increasing penetration of RES further challenges the reliability and in particular, frequency stability. Cascading failures underlie recent black-outs in IPSs and the mitigation of the propagation of such failures is widely recognized as a crucial aspect in increasing resilience. This proposal aims at addressing reliability and resilience of IPSs under high penetration of RES from an operation planning point of view by considering both preventive and corrective actions. This proposal consider preventive, frequency-stability-based power system splitting as a preventive action that can potentially enhance resilience, whereas preventive frequency-dynamic-based and corrective load-shedding-driven economic dispatches and unit commitments are implemented to improve reliability and frequency stability in particular.
