Resilience assessment of a power system due to disruption of interconnectors

The paper addresses resilience assessment of a power system due to disruption of interconnecting power lines. In the current times of geopolitical instability, certain EU regions are in particular vulnerable. The power system analysed is based on an anonymized EU region well interconnected with other Member States. Employing the PyPSA-Eur model, the paper analysis cross border power disruptions of 10 scenarios. The study aims to quantify consequences of possible disruptions, introduces resilience index and rank the disruption scenarios. In addition, gas supply disruption in the region was analysed as a sensitivity case study affecting several disruption scenarios.
