As power system loading increases, larger blackouts due to cascading outages become more likely. We investigate a critical loading at which the average size of blackouts increases...

We use the OPA complex systems model of the power transmission system to investigate the effect of a series of different network upgrade scenarios on the long time dynamics and th...

It is now apparent that our nation’s infrastructures and essential utilities have been optimized for reliability in benign operating environments. As such, they are susceptible ...
We introduce a stochastic model that describes the quasistatic dynamics of an electric transmission network under perturbations introduced by random load fluctuations, random rem...

Critical infrastructures have some of the characteristic properties of complex systems. They exhibit infrequent large failures events. These events, though infrequent, often obey ...
