Cascading failures of loads in isolated networks under random failures or intentional attacks
have been studied in the past decade. The corresponding results for interconnected …

Cascading failures are one of the main reasons for large scale blackouts in power
transmission grids. Secure electrical power supply requires, together with careful operation …

In this paper, we study the robustness assessment of power systems from a network
perspective. Based on Kirchhoff's laws and the properties of network elements, and …

Smart grids, where cyber infrastructure is used to make power distribution more dependable
and efficient, are prime examples of modern infrastructure systems. The cyber infrastructure …

The shift towards an energy grid dominated by prosumers (consumers and producers of
energy) will inevitably have repercussions on the electricity distribution infrastructure. Today …

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 …

Cascading failures are the main reason blackouts occur in power networks. The economic
cost of such failures is in the order of tens of billion dollars annually. In a power network, the …

Electrical power grids are vulnerable to cascading failures that can lead to large blackouts.
The detection and prevention of cascading failures in power grids are important problems …

Cascading failures on techno-socio-economic systems can have dramatic and catastrophic
implications in society. A damage caused by a cascading failure, such as a power blackout …

Power grids are nowadays experiencing a transformation due to the introduction of
distributed generation based on renewable sources. At difference with classical distributed …
