Recently, the sequential attack, where multiple malignant contingencies are launched by attackers sequentially, has revealed power grid vulnerability under cascading failures. This paper systematically analyzes properties and features of N - k cascaded-based sequential line-switching attacks using a DC power flow based cascading failure simulator (DC-CFS). This paper first explains the key factors behind cascade-based attacks, then compares three adopted metrics with a original line-margin metric to compute vulnerability indexes and design sequential attacks. Two target search schemes, i.e., offline and online target search in sequential attacks, are also presented. Simulation results of N - 2 to N - 4 line-switching attacks have suggested that the proposed line margin metric produces stronger sequential attacks, and online target search is more effective than offline search. Reasons behind counter-intuitive load loss resulting from different metrics are also analyzed to facilitate future study on the risk of sequential attacks. |
