Research on probabilistic inference methods for power grid icing risk assessment: a systematic analysis incorporating ultra-high voltage line ratios by Huiwei Liu, Pengjie He, Ziqiang Lu, Jie Li, Ziying Lu, Jinchuan Jia

“…With the expansion of ultra-high voltage (UHV) power grids, systematic assessment of icing disaster risks has become increasingly crucial.MethodsThis paper proposes a probabilistic inference approach for power grid icing risk assessment, which employs a Poisson process model to characterize the nonlinear relationship between line failure probability and ice thickness, combined with Monte Carlo simulation techniques to evaluate overall system risk.ResultsResearch findings indicate that critical ice thickness and failure sensitivity coefficients significantly impact the grid’s disaster resistance capability, particularly when the proportion of high-load UHV lines increases, leading to nonlinear growth in system risk. …”
