Abstract

Considering the different weights of various heterogeneity node importance in power grid and communication network and the possibility of the power grid island as well as the independent operation of the local area network, a more accurate method is proposed to evaluate the fragility of a cyber-physical system. According to the quo of grid construction and the background of cyber-physical fusion, the hierarchical system and distributed system model are established, respectively. Simulation results of conducting random attack and deliberate attack on two systems indicate that the proposed method is correct and better than others and it can identify the balance of the network structure. The distributed system is more robust than the hierarchical system under different weighting factors, while the robustness of the hierarchical system is more sensitive to the weighting factor.
