Abstract

A model for blackouts in electric power transmission systems is implemented and studied in simple networks with a regular structure. The model describes load demand and network improvements evolving on a slow timescale as well as the fast dynamics of cascading overloads and outages. The model dynamics are demonstrated on the simple power system networks. The dynamics depend weakly on the network topologies tested. The probability distribution functions of measures of the cascading events show the existence of power-dependent tails.
