| Summary: | The traditional infrastructure in power system is undergoing a transition to the Smart Grid, in which the communication network and power grid will be integrated into a cyber-physical power system (CPPS). Although the traditional topological analysis reveals the mechanism of cascading failure between two networks, it ignores the control redundancy and standby lines from communication network to power grid. The robustness analysis in CPPS requires a more comprehensive model to analyze failure behavior in reality. Here, we propose a cascading failure model with one-to-multiple interdependency and a relevant theoretical framework to analyze CPPS cascading failure. In consideration of real CPPS, in the proposed model we introduce two robustness factors, the number of dependent links and control threshold, which can better describe the control function from communication nodes to power nodes. The remaining fraction under different initial attacking on high voltage transmission network, small world network, double star network, and the different topological combination of CPPS are analyzed. The results show that the proposed model and robustness factors can better reveal the robustness and the mechanism of two networks in cascading failure.
