Abstract

Seismic events can cause devastating impacts on both overground and underground energy system infrastructure. This paper proposes a methodology to evaluate the impact of seismic events on the security of integrated electricity and gas system, mainly focusing on pipelines leakage and connection loss of electricity transmission lines. A stochastic model is used to formulate the damage level based on earthquake severity. The seismic impact on the integrated system is classified according to the levels of pipe leak and electricity line failure. Load curtailment due to limited generation capacity and overloaded transmission lines is thereafter quantified. Seismic intensity is generated randomly based on Monte Carlo simulation so that a certain seismic intensity can be related to relevant load curtailment. An integrated energy system with a 30-busbar electricity system and a 6-node natural gas network is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results clearly illustrate damage consequences under seismic events in terms of both probability and severity levels. This work can inform resilience enhancement scheme design based on the vulnerability performance and impact of both systems.
