题目：New Arena in Power Systems Research: Using     Network Science to Measure a Power Grid’s Robustness 时间：2016年10月19日(周三)下午3:00-4:30 地点：玉泉校区行政楼111会议室 报告人：Prof. C K Michael Tse

Abstract:

A recent article in IEEE Xplore reported a radically different approach to studying emerging topics in power grid developed by the speaker. Conventional study of power grid follows a simplified circuit model on which analytical results are developed, simulated and experimentally tested. Our work, however, refrains from the use of conventional analytical models which have limited capability for dealing with large scale power grids, but uses a complex network approach to develop key robustness parameters with a network model which has its theoretical basis from both network science and physics of electrical circuits. The article in IEEE Xplore reported that “... what makes this project particularly impressive is that power grids are nearly impossible to analyze at-large due to their scale and constantly fluctuating nature to meet energy load demands..."  In this talk we will introduce this complex network approach and provide some preliminary study results, aiming to trigger more discussion in opening up new arena for power systems research.
