Complex systems analysis of series of blackouts: cascading failure, critical points, and self-organization. (2007, neutral): “The OPA blackout model [25, 9, 10] represents the essentials of slow load growth, cascading line outages, and the increases in system capacity caused by the engineering responses to blackouts.”
Evidence for self-organized criticality in a time series of electric power system blackouts (2004, background): “[17] and in modeling blackouts and cascading failure from other perspectives [14]–[16], [18]–[20], [27], [29]–[31], [34].”
Correlation analysis of different vulnerability metrics on power grids. (2014, methodology): “This paper selects an extensively used direct current (DC) power flow model [19,20,23] to capture power grid performance under a disruptive event, and then introduces six frequently used vulnerability metrics for correlation analysis.”
Critical points and transitions in an electric power transmission model for cascading failure blackouts. (2002, background): “In this paper, we assume a fixed network and only study the fast dynamics of the model of [9-11].”
Analyzing and modeling real-world phenomena with complex networks: a survey of applications (2007, background): “These dynamical processes were simul ated in [277, 278, 279, 280, 281], from which it was inferred that the size of the blackouts foll ows a power-law tail, which means that big blackouts are not so uncommon.”
