Abstract

This paper presents a new line importance degree evaluation index for the propagation of cascading failures, which is used to quantify transmission lines for cascade spread. And propose an improved capital matching model, according to the results of the evaluation, to enhanced robustness of the power system. The simulation results proved that in the case of the same system, the new model can inhibit cascade spread, reduce the probability of large-scale blackouts.
