As power grids are gradually adjusted to fit into a smart grid paradigm, a common problem is to identify locations where it is most beneficial to introduce distributed generation. In order to assist in such a decision, we work on a graph model of a regional power grid, and propose a method to assess collateral damage to the network resulting from a localized failure. We perform complex network analysis on multiple instances of the network, looking for correlations between estimated damages and betweenness centrality indices, attempting to determine which model is best suited to predict features of our network.

Abstract

As power grids are gradually adjusted to fit into a smart grid paradigm, a common problem is to identify locations where it is most beneficial to introduce distributed generation. In order to assist in such a decision, we work on a graph model of a regional power grid, and propose a method to assess collateral damage to the network resulting from a localized failure. We perform complex network analysis on multiple instances of the network, looking for correlations between estimated damages and betweenness centrality indices, attempting to determine which model is best suited to predict features of our network.
