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 …

Background When a power system blackout occurs, it affects the economy of the country and
every aspect of human life. Cascading failures can easily occur and cause a major blackout …

This paper presents a methodology and set of validation criteria for the systematic creation
of synthetic power system test cases. The synthesized grids do not correspond to any real …

Attack detection problems in the smart grid are posed as statistical learning problems for
different attack scenarios in which the measurements are observed in batch or online …

Algebraic graph theory is a cornerstone in the study of electrical networks ranging from
miniature integrated circuits to continental-scale power systems. Conversely, many …

In order to solve the voltage violation problem caused by high penetration of photovoltaic
(PV) units in distribution power networks, this paper proposes a double-layer voltage control …

The modeling of cascading failure in power systems is difficult because of the many different
mechanisms involved; no single model captures all of these mechanisms. Understanding …

Identifying coherent sub-graphs in networks is important in many applications. In power
systems, large systems are divided into areas and zones to aid in planning and control …

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

Studies to evaluate the power system impacts of geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) can
benefit from geographically realistic public test cases to validate methodologies and …
