Failures of the complex infrastructures society depends on having enormous human and
economic cost that poses the question: Are there ways to optimize these systems to reduce …

In this paper, we aim to analyze the impact of dc transmission on self-organized criticality
(SOC) of the East China power system (ECPS), which is a large-scale, ac-dc interconnected …

Climate change is expected to have impacts on the power sector, leading to, among others,
a need for adaptation measures in the sector in the near future. This paper analyses the …

This article presents a new strategy for blackout prevention in a power system using parallel
flexible AC transmission system devices and a combination of corrective actions. The …

The electricity industry can be characterized by several risks: regulatory, adequacy, human
error, etc. One of the most outstanding aspects, because of their impact, is related to not …

The dynamics of power system blackouts and the associated Self-Organized Criticality
(SOC) behavior is a subject that receives continuous attention in view of its inherent …

With the increasing complexity of the power grid and the integration of large-scale wind
power, the uncertainty of power grid continues to grow. Accurate judgment of the self …

The installed capacity and the grid access request for renewables is anticipated to continue
rising in the EU and US in the coming years. The scarcity of reactive power and synchronous …

A blackout model for hybrid AC/DC power systems is presented on the basis of self-
organized criticality theory in this paper. The model considers the related operating …

Large-scale wind power may have a negative impact on peak regulation, frequency
regulation and the security of power grid for its great randomness and intermittence. This …
