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 success of new scientific areas can be assessed by their potential in contributing to new
theoretical approaches and in applications to real-world problems. Complex networks have …

INTRODUCTION Cascading failures in power grids are inherently network processes, in
which an initially small perturbation leads to a sequence of failures that spread through the …

Electric power systems are critical to economic prosperity, national security, public health
and safety. However, in hurricane-prone areas, a severe storm may simultaneously cause …

This paper proposes a new multi-stage framework to analyze infrastructure resilience. For
each stage, a series of resilience-based improvement strategies are highlighted and …

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 …

Understanding how interdependence among systems affects cascading behaviors is
increasingly important across many fields of science and engineering. Inspired by cascades …

We give an overview of a complex systems approach to large blackouts of electric power
transmission systems caused by cascading failure. Instead of looking at the details of …

The dynamics of power-grid networks is becoming an increasingly active area of research
within the physics and network science communities. The results from such studies are …

The control of complex networks is of paramount importance in areas as diverse as
ecosystem management, emergency response and cell reprogramming. A fundamental …
