Metaheuristic Optimization for N-2 Contingency Analysis in Power Transmission Networks: A Comparative Benchmark Study Using SA and GA
N-2 contingency analysis is an integral part of securing the operation of modern power transmission systems. Even though N-1 analysis is typically applied, exhaustive N-2 (dual-line) contingency analysis is computationally infeasible in large scale systems. In this paper, a comparison of the performance of simulated an...
