Journal ArticleDOI
Do topological models provide good information about electricity infrastructure vulnerability
TL;DR: It is concluded that evaluating vulnerability in power networks using purely topological metrics can be misleading, and the vulnerability metrics for individual simulations show only a mild correlation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-Attribute Partitioning of Power Networks Based on Electrical Distance
TL;DR: Application of the method to the IEEE 118-bus and a 2383-bus case indicates that when a network is well partitioned into zones, intra-zone transactions have less impact on power flows outside of the zone; i.e., good partitioning reduces loop flows.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing the Topological and Electrical Structure of the North American Electric Power Infrastructure
TL;DR: This paper describes the structure of the three North American electric power interconnections, from the perspective of both topological and electrical connectivity, and proposes a new method for representing electrical structure using electrical distances rather than geographic connections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do topological models provide good information about vulnerability in electric power networks
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measure the susceptibility of power networks to random failures and directed attacks using three measures of vulnerability: characteristic path lengths, connectivity loss and blackout sizes, and conclude that evaluating vulnerability in power networks using purely topological metrics can be misleading.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The Topological and Electrical Structure of Power Grids
TL;DR: A comparative analysis of the topological and electrical structure of the IEEE 300 bus and the Eastern United States power grids is provided and a new graph generating algorithm is introduced, the minimum distance graph, that produces networks with properties that more nearly match those of known power grids.
