Comprehensive vulnerability assessment of power system nodes with wind power based on Dagum-Gini coefficient approach by Mingzhu Yan, Jiahui Wu, Huan Jiang, Yang Kou, Wei Zhao

“…In order to analyze the vulnerability of grid nodes, this paper proposes a dynamic comprehensive evaluation method considering system uniformity, and establishes a comprehensive assessment model of node vulnerability based on wind power grid-connectedness, based on which the vulnerability of wind power-containing power systems is studied. Firstly, the improved weighted power entropy index is selected for the phenomena of system current instability and line overloading, and the comprehensive index set of node vulnerability is constructed by considering the structural and state characteristics, and the subjective and objective weights are calculated by using the hierarchical analysis method and the CRITIC method. …”
