Optimization of stochastic lossy transport networks and applications to power grids
Alessandro Zocca, Bert Zwart
Motivated by developments in renewable energy and smart grids, we formulate a stylized mathematical model of a transport network with stochastic load fluctuations. Using an affine…
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…
Tunneling behavior of Ising and Potts models in the low-temperature regime
Francesca R. Nardi, Alessandro Zocca
We consider the ferromagnetic -state Potts model with zero external field in a finite volume and assume that the stochastic evolution of this system is described by a Glauber-ty…
Low-temperature behavior of the multicomponent Widom-Rowlison model on finite square lattices
Alessandro Zocca
We consider the multicomponent Widom-Rowlison with Metropolis dynamics, which describes the evolution of a particle system where different types of particles interact subject t…
Tunneling of the hard-core model on finite triangular lattices
Alessandro Zocca
We consider the hard-core model on finite triangular lattices with Metropolis dynamics. Under suitable conditions on the triangular lattice dimensions, this interacting particle sy…
