Blackout Model Based on AC Power Flow

  • Chapter
Power Grid Complexity

Abstract

Cascading blackout models based on optimal AC power flows are constructed in this chapter. Since these models are developed using SOC theory and incorporate the Manchester model, they can be utilized to describe the fast dynamics in cascading failures as well as the slow dynamics during the evolution of power grids. The advantage of this approach is that at both the macroscopic and microscopic levels, one can reveal and then study in depth the SOC characteristics in power grids.
