Small vulnerable sets determine large network cascades in power grids
Yang Yang, Takashi Nishikawa, Adilson E. Motter
The understanding of cascading failures in complex systems has been hindered by the lack of realistic large-scale modeling and analysis that can account for variable system conditi…
Vulnerability and co-susceptibility determine the size of network cascades
Yang Yang, Takashi Nishikawa, Adilson E. Motter
In a network, a local disturbance can propagate and eventually cause a substantial part of the system to fail, in cascade events that are easy to conceptualize but extraordinarily…
Comparative analysis of existing models for power-grid synchronization
Takashi Nishikawa, Adilson E. Motter
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 typica…
Spontaneous synchrony in power-grid networks
Adilson E. Motter, Seth A. Myers, Marian Anghel +1
An imperative condition for the functioning of a power-grid network is that its power generators remain synchronized. Disturbances can prompt desynchronization, which is a process…
Discovering Network Structure Beyond Communities
Takashi Nishikawa, Adilson E. Motter
To understand the formation, evolution, and function of complex systems, it is crucial to understand the internal organization of their interaction networks. Partly due to the impo…
