Power systems are the most complex systems and have great importance in modern life.
They have direct impacts on the modernization, economic, political and social aspects. To …

Synchronization processes in populations of locally interacting elements are the focus of
intense research in physical, biological, chemical, technological and social systems. The …

The statistical tools of Complex Network Analysis are of useful to understand salient
properties of complex systems, may these be natural or pertaining human engineered …

Cascading failure analysis in power systems draws a wide attention from researchers due to
frequent occurrence of blackouts all over the world during past decades. A variety of …

This paper reviews the most relevant works that have investigated robustness in power grids
using Complex Networks (CN) concepts. In this broad field there are two different …

The success of new scientific areas can be assessed by their potential in contributing to new
theoretical approaches and in applications to real-world problems. Complex networks have …

We show that there is a link between the Kuramoto paradigm and another system of
synchronized oscillators, namely an electrical power distribution grid of generators and …

In order to identify the extent to which results from topological graph models are useful for
modeling vulnerability in electricity infrastructure, we measure the susceptibility of power …

Power grids exhibit patterns of reaction to outages similar to complex networks. Blackout
sequences follow power laws, as complex systems operating near a critical point. Here, the …

Increased interconnection between critical infrastructure networks, such as electric power
and communications systems, has important implications for infrastructure reliability and …
