How Does the Vulnerability of an Evolving Power Grid Change?

TL;DR

This paper analyzes how the vulnerability of an evolving power grid changes over seven decades using complex network methods on Hungarian power system data.

Contribution

It introduces a long-term vulnerability assessment approach for power grids based on historical data and complex network analysis.

Findings

Vulnerability patterns vary over decades.

Complex network metrics reveal evolving grid resilience.

Historical data informs future grid robustness strategies.

Abstract

In this paper the seven-decade historical dataset of the Hungarian power system is used to perform vulnerability assessment applying a complex network approach.
