Bi-level Optimization Model of PMU Fault Recovery Based on Observability

Abstract

Abstract Aiming at the failure of PMU caused by cyber-attacks and extreme natural disasters, a bi-level optimization model of PMU fault recovery based on observability is proposed in this paper. By optimizing the sequential restoration of PMU, the control center can maximize the state observability of the system under the condition of limited recovery resources and adjust the power in real time according to the recovered observable nodes, so as to alleviate the power imbalance caused by a disturbance in the recovery process. The upper optimization model takes the maximum observable branch power flow as the optimization objective, and the lower optimization model is constructed as the DC optimal power flow model with the lowest power generation cost. The upper and lower models are coupled by the branch power flow and the node observation state. Then, the lower model is transformed into KKT conditions through Lagrange multiplication, and the nonlinear objectives and constraints are linearized so that the bi-level model can be transformed into a single-level mixed integer linear programming model for solving. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed strategy is verified by simulation analysis of IEEE39 standard systems.
