Abstract

Ensuring the reliability and sustainability of power systems is essential for maintaining efficient and uninterrupted operations, especially under varying load conditions and potential faults. This study tackles the critical task of contingency ranking by evaluating the severity of disturbances caused by transmission line disconnections. Such evaluations enable power system operators to make informed and strategic decisions during real-time scenarios. A novel approach utilizing the Modified Sine Cosine Algorithm (MSCA), a nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization technique, is proposed to resolve (N-1) contingency rankings efficiently. The MSCA method is validated using the IEEE 30-bus test case, focusing on optimal parameter tuning for population size, iterations, and key variables. Results demonstrate that MSCA achieves a high capture ratio of 96.67%, explores only 8.33 × 10??% of the search space, and requires a processing time of 3.69 seconds. Compared with established methods such as Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA), MSCA exhibits superior computational efficiency while maintaining competitive accuracy. These findings underline the potential of MSCA in real-time applications where speed and precision are critical. By closely matching manual contingency rankings, the proposed method integrates reliability assessment and optimization techniques, offering practical value for improving system resilience and reducing risks associated with disruptions. This research advances state-of-the-art power system reliability assessment and optimization approaches, providing operators and planners with a robust tool for addressing complex contingency challenges
