Modeling Blackout Dynamics in Power Transmission Networks with Simple Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
A model for blackouts in electric power transmission systems is implemented and studied in simple networks with a regular structure. The model describes load demand and network improvements evolving on a slow timescale as well as the fast dynamics of cascading overloads and outages. The model dynamics are demonstrated on the simple power system networks. The dynamics depend weakly on the network topologies tested. The probability distribution functions of measures of the cascading events show the existence of powerdependent tails.

First year progress report: Complex systems approach to cascading failures
A model has been developed to study the global complex dynamics of a series of blackouts in power transmission systems [1, 2]. This model has included a simple level of self-organization by incorporating the growth of power demand and the engineering response to system failures. Two types of blackouts have been identified with different dynamical properties. One type of blackout involves loss o...

Electric power transmission systems are a key infrastructure and blackouts of these systems have major direct and indirect consequences on the economy and national security. Analysis of North American Electrical Reliability Council blackout data suggests the existence of blackout size distributions with power tails. This is an indication that blackout dynamics behave as a complex dynamical syst...

The reliable operation of electricity transport and distribution networks plays a crucial role in modern societies. However, too often, when a fault occurs in electricity networks, such as a transmission line drop, loss of generation, or any other important failure, voltages start to decay, potentially leading to complete blackouts with dramatic consequences. Thus, techniques are required that ...
