Tripartite Evolutionary Game Analysis of Collaborative Emergency Response for Power Transmission Lines Under Icing and Galloping Disasters
Jinyu Wang, Zhe Li, Yun Liang, Menglong Wu, Xiaoming ChuaiIcing and galloping disasters threaten the safe operation of power transmission lines, and effective response depends on multi-agent collaboration. To address the insufficient attention paid in existing studies to grassroots execution constraints, this paper constructs a tripartite evolutionary game model involving local governments, power grid enterprise O&M management, and grassroots O&M teams. The model integrates collaborative investment, agency costs, benefit sharing, and multi-layer reward–punishment mechanisms into a unified framework. Replicator dynamics and numerical simulations are then used to analyze the evolution of collaborative strategies; the parameters are non-dimensional benchmark values rather than empirically calibrated estimates. The results show that the system exhibits multi-stability and path dependence, with fully non-collaborative and fully collaborative equilibria possibly remaining stable simultaneously. The combination of strong government regulation and incentives with high-level enterprise collaborative management is the key mechanism for overcoming the low-collaboration trap, and strict accountability has higher marginal policy efficiency than equivalent subsidies. Reducing grassroots execution costs and moderately increasing their share of disaster mitigation benefits can accelerate collaborative convergence and expand the attraction basin of the high-collaboration equilibrium. This study provides theoretical support and mechanism-design implications for enhancing the resilience of collaborative emergency response for power transmission lines under extreme weather conditions.
