A Bilevel Approach for Identifying the Worst Contingencies for Nonconvex Alternating Current Power Systems
We address the bilevel optimization problem of identifying the most critical attacks to an alternating current (AC) power flow network. The upper-level binary maximization problem consists in choosing an attack that is treated as a parameter in the lower-level defender minimization problem. Instances of the lower-level global minimization problem by themselves are NP-hard due to … Read more
