Because the scale of power cyber-physical system(CPS)is growing
and the existing cascade failure model ignores the information flow and the power flow transfer characteristics
it is difficult to quickly and effectively assess the survivability. Aiming at this problem
this paper proposes a quantitative survivability assessment method of power CPS considering load optimized redistribution. Firstly
according to the system topology and association
the degree-media weighted correlation matrix of power CPS is established by defining the degree function and the electrical interface
and the formal representation of coupled CPS is realized. Then
based on the structural connectivity change and risk propagation range of CPS cascade failure
the survivability assessment model is designed based on the constraints such as node load capacity limitation
optimal allocation strategy of information flow
power flow optimization equation and system safety operation. Finally
the chaotic Lévy search firefly algorithm is proposed to efficiently solve the assessment model. The case study shows that the assessment method can effectively quantify the survivability of power CPS and improve the assessment efficiency of large-scale coupled systems.
