The effective identifications of important nodes in power grid are foundations of differentiated management and stable operation of power grid. However, the current studies on this field are not thorough enough. This paper applies the model based on co-citation (MBCC)-hypertext induced topic selection (HITS) algorithm used in web page ranking to power grid and proposes an index to determine node importance of power grid from the perspectives of inflow and outflow power. MBCC-HITS algorithm is modified considering load, power source, and line flow comprehensively for the differences between Internet and power grid in this paper. Then a method for evaluating node importance is proposed using the modified algorithm. Lastly, the rationality and validity of the proposed method are verified by comparisons with other methods in case studies of IEEE 14-bus and 118-bus systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
