Emergence of scale-free blackout sizes in power grids
Tommaso Nesti, Fiona Sloothaak, Bert Zwart
We model power grids as graphs with heavy-tailed sinks, which represent demand from cities, and study cascading failures on such graphs. Our analysis links the scale-free nature of…

Emergent failures and cascades in power grids: a statistical physics perspective
Tommaso Nesti, Alessandro Zocca, Bert Zwart
We model power grids transporting electricity generated by intermittent renewable sources as complex networks, where line failures can emerge indirectly by noisy power input at the…
