Special Issue on Technologies for Improving the Survivability of Power Systems Under Extreme Scenarios

Power systems are among the most critical infrastructures in any country. Hence, ensuring their safety and stability is of great significance. With the advancement of energy transition and new technologies, modern power systems exhibit extensive interconnections, significant uncertainty and high complexity, exposing them to numerous challenges. Natural disasters such as tropical cyclones and are well-known threats, and recent research has largely focused on these weather-related extreme events. However, in addition to these conventional extreme events, power systems may also face unconventional extreme threats such as destructive strikes, electromagnetic attacks and cyber attacks amid complex world situations. These unconventional extreme events have features of intentionality, strong suddenness and high destructiveness, challenging the operation safety and stability of power systems. Despite their potential impact, research on the threats posed by these unconventional events remains limited.

Topics covered:

• Modeling of power systems under unconventional extreme events
• Quantitative assessment of power system survivability under extreme events
• Fundamental perception ability guarantee strategies for power systems under extreme events
• Secure control and optimal operation strategies for power systems under extreme events
• Planning methods to enhance power system survivability under extreme events
• Emergency support strategies for power systems under extreme events
• Energy policies adapting to extreme events
