Power system operators need tools for rapid, real-time counterfactual assessments of grid security under fast-changing conditions. Traditional N-1 contingency analysis lacks dynamic evaluation, especially of frequency swings from common…

It is crucial for maintaining the security of supply that transmission networks continue to operate even if a single line fails. Modeling $\mathcal{N} - 1$ security in power system capacity expansion problems introduces many extra…
Cyberthreats are an increasingly common risk to the power grid and can thwart secure grid operations. We propose to extend contingency analysis to include cyberthreat evaluations. However, unlike the traditional N-1 or N-2 contingencies,…

Power grids exhibit patterns of reaction to outages similar to complex networks. Blackout sequences follow power laws, as complex systems operating near a critical point. Here, the tolerance of electric power grids to both accidental and…
We consider the problem of designing (or augmenting) an electric power system at a minimum cost such that it satisfies the N-k-e survivability criterion. This survivability criterion is a generalization of the well-known N-k criterion, and…

Power systems are increasingly operated in corrective rather than preventive security mode, which means that appropriate control actions must be taken immediately after a contingency has occurred. This paper proposes an online algorithm for…
