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 objective of this paper is to provide a systematic view on the problem of vulnerability
and risk analysis of critical infrastructures. Reflections are made on the inherent complexities …

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 …

Timely and automatic detection and reconstruction of cyber attack is crucial in maintaining
safe operation of cyber‐physical systems. This study investigates the problem of unexpected …

We use North American Electric Reliability Corporation historical data to give improved
estimates of distributions of blackout size, time correlations, and waiting times for the Eastern …

With the increasing complexity of the power grid and the concerns on major blackouts, there
is an urgent need for an efficient and effective tool to assess the power system structural …

Large blackouts typically involve the cascading outage of transmission lines. We estimate
from observed utility data how much transmission line outages propagate, and obtain …

This paper provides a survey of studying complex network theory for modern smart grid
applications. A brief overview of complex network theory will be explored first. Topological …

In the past two decades the frequent occurrences of large scale blackouts and catastrophic
events has reduced the reliability of power grid to a great extent. A thorough analysis of the …
