Power grids have been studied as a typical example of real-world complex networks.
Different from previous methods, this paper proposes a hybrid approach for structural …

Security issues related to power grid networks have attracted the attention of researchers in
many fields. Recently, a new network model that combines complex network theories with …

Many scholars have applied complex network based models to investigate power grid
vulnerability, but how effective are these models to capture the real performance is an …

Electric power networks have been studied as a typical example of real-world complex
networks. Traditional models for structural vulnerability analysis appear to be all based on …

The security issue of complex networks has drawn significant concerns recently. While pure
topological analyzes from a network security perspective provide some effective techniques …

Graph theory techniques have emerged as useful tools in analysis of the physical
performance of power grids, especially cascade failure events. Based on such models …

The failure of a power system as a critical infrastructure causes considerable damage to
society. Hence, the vulnerabilities of such facilities should be minimized to cope with several …

The cascading failure phenomenon in a power grid is related to both the structural aspects
(number and types of buses, density of transmission lines and interconnection of …

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 …

The vulnerability of real-life networks subject to intentional attacks has been one of the
outstanding challenges in the study of the network safety. Applying the real data of the US …
