| Summary: | A robust and reliable grid is one of the core elements for power network planning. Specifically, splitting is an effective way for power grid out-of-step oscillation. Since the cross-section of system out-of-step is mostly found on the weak connection lines, reducing the number of those lines can be conducive to the system partition, save the finding time of the optimal splitting cross-section, and improve the performance of the splitting control. This paper proposed an enhanced method based on slow coherence theory for weak connection lines’ identification and monitoring. The ratio of the number of weak connection lines to the number of all the lines, called weak connection coefficient, is considered as a crucial factor. A bi-level programming model, which perceives the minimum connection coefficient as the optimization goal, is built for the transmission network. Additionally, a fused algorithm, consisting of Boruvka algorithm and particle swarm optimization with adaptive mutation and inertia weight, is employed to solve the proposed method in the instances of an 18-node IEEE Graver system and a practical power grid in East China. Simulation results in PSD-BPA are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the weak connection monitoring method and transmission network planning model.
