Figure 3. The proposed state transfer model.
directly used to the theoretical basis of smart distribution
network risk warning. For the practical application, the
risk prediction analysis and causes mining before the
incident provides technical support for smart distribution
network from passive defense to active defense, which
promotes the security of electricity supply, improve the
reliability, and reduces the impact of the grid accident
and hazards, and has great practical significance on
operation, planning and designing of the power system
and the development of society as well.
