Predicting Dynamic Stability from Static Features in Power Grid Models using Machine Learning

Maurizio Titz, Franz Kaiser, Johannes Kruse +1

A reliable supply with electric power is vital for our society. Transmission line failures are among the biggest threats for power grid stability as they may lead to a splitting of…

Dual communities in spatial networks

Franz Kaiser, Philipp C. Böttcher, Henrik Ronellenfitsch +2

Both human-made and natural supply systems, such as power grids and leaf venation networks, are built to operate reliably under changing external conditions. Many of these spatial…

Discontinuous transition to loop formation in optimal supply networks

Franz Kaiser, Henrik Ronellenfitsch, Dirk Witthaut

The structure and design of optimal supply networks is an important topic in complex networks research. A fundamental trait of natural and man-made networks is the emergence of loo…

Topological theory of resilience and failure spreading in flow networks

Franz Kaiser, Dirk Witthaut

Link failures in supply networks can have catastrophic consequences that can lead to a complete collapse of the network. Strategies to prevent failure spreading are thus heavily so…

Multistability in lossy power grids and oscillator networks

Chiara Balestra, Franz Kaiser, Debsankha Manik +1

The stable operation of the electric power grid relies on a precisely synchronized state of all generators and machines. All machines rotate at exactly the same frequency with fixe…

Non-Local Impact of Link Failures in Linear Flow Networks

Julius Strake, Franz Kaiser, Farnaz Basiri +2

The failure of a single link can degrade the operation of a supply network up to the point of complete collapse. Yet, the interplay between network topology and locality of the res…

Order parameter allows classification of planar graphs based on balanced fixed points in the Kuramoto model

Franz Kaiser, Karen Alim

Phase balanced states are a highly under-explored class of solutions of the Kuramoto model and other coupled oscillator models on networks. So far, coupled oscillator research focu…
