Abstract

This paper presents a method for determining the double outage contingencies that threaten the system without solving the full contingency set. Two methods for contingency screening with complementary properties are presented. The results of the algorithms are compared to the full double outage contingency analysis results for a large North American case. The results show that the screening algorithms are able to detect nearly all of the contingencies that will result in violations, while requiring only a small fraction of the contingencies to be solved.
