Abstract

Power-grids are formed by the complex interaction structure between generators and consumers. The power stations must keep a proper synchronisation to avoid energy supplydisturbances and blackouts. Because of the complex linking structure of the network predicting the stability of synchronisation and how the network structure affects the stability remains an open challenge. This project aims at understanding how the linking structure affects the overall synchronisation of the power generators. In particular, how blackouts can be avoided by manipulating the network structure. To this end, we study how the network affects the stability of the synchronised dynamics and its basin of attraction. (AU)
