Understanding Cascading Failures in Power Grids
In the past, we have observed several large blackouts, i.e. loss of power to large areas. It has been noted by several researchers that these large blackouts are a result of a cas...

Initial Evidence for Self-Organized Criticality in Electric Power System Blackouts
We examine correlations in a time series of electric power system blackout sizes using scaled window variance analysis and R/S statistics. The data shows some evidence of long tim...
